Team SAUBER PETRONAS continued its three-day test at the Circuit de la Comunitat
Valenciana Ricardo Tormo today. Jacques Villeneuve in chassis
C24-01 ran 107 laps with a best time of 1:12.298s. Tomorrow Felipe Massa will
take over the driving.
Giampaolo Dall'Ara (Race Engineer):
"Basically the programme today covered the same aspects like yesterday and
we kept on working on the set-up of the C24. Because the car has improved quite
significantly we were able to start already with the in-depth Michelin tyre
assessments which were originally scheduled for tomorrow. It helped that it was
not as windy as yesterday, so we could also run some aerodynamic tests in the
morning. In the afternoon we had to change the engine as it reached its maximum
mileage.
"Tomorrow we will do some data verifications with Felipe. We now possess
references from both drivers which enables us to make comparisons. By doing so
we will go more into details while focussing on long-runs and further Michelin
work."
