Force India chief engineer Jakob Andreasen described the VJM05 as running "faultlessly" as the team completed 112 laps on day two at Barcelona.Hulkenberg set the fastest time of the day during the morning session before focusing on analysing all four dry tyre compounds in the afternoon. Having clocked up a total of 209 laps over the two days, Andreasen paid tribute to Force India's design team and said that the team at the circuit had managed to complete everything it had set out to.
"Nico's second day in the car saw a continuation of the programme we started yesterday with aero runs, balance and set-up work, and a full day of tyre comparisons," Andreasen said. "We got through all the items on the job list and once again the car has run faultlessly, which is a credit to the design team at Silverstone. Nico's feedback on the handling of the car continues to be positive and we now have a good feel for the set-up directions we need to take to extract even more performance."
After his final day in the car for this week Hulkenberg said he was pleased with the baseline set-up the team had.
"We started the day with some aero work - trying some constant speed runs and collecting more data. Then, the rest of the day was spent working on the balance of the car and trying out all four tyre compounds. I did some short runs, long runs and just got a feel for the tyre characteristics and how the car reacts to them. Once again the car has been very drivable all day and our baseline set-up has proved to be a good starting point for running all the different compounds."
