Alfonso Celis: “It was a busy day in which we
managed to complete nearly everything in our plan. These cars are
completely different and I enjoyed my first experience of the new
regulations – you can really feel the step up in performance. It took me
a bit of time to get used to the car and the conditions, and the track
had very low grip early on. I did a lot of aero passes in the morning
and then we focussed on understanding the tyres in the afternoon. The
most important objective of the day was to give the team as much data as
possible so these 71 laps will hopefully be very useful for better
understanding this car.”
Tom McCullough, Chief Race Engineer: “Another solid day of work in Barcelona as Alfonso drove the VJM10 for the first time. Track temperatures were very low for the first couple of hours so we focussed on an aero mapping with various instruments fitted to the side of the car. We made a floor change during the lunch hour and worked through a set-up programme in the afternoon. Alfonso ran on several different tyre compounds - ultrasoft, supersoft and soft – giving us feedback and data on the new 2017 tyres.”
