The Renault F1
Team completed its second day of work in Jerez this week with Vitaly
Petrov in the R30.
Circuit: Jerez de
la Frontera
Length: 4.4 km
Driver: Vitaly Petrov
Chassis: R3002
Total Laps: 56 laps
Fastest Lap: 1:27.828
Summary of the
day: Another day of unsettled weather restricted the teams
technical programme. There were heavy rain showers in the morning and
windy conditions with further showers in the afternoon.
Vitaly Petrov:
It was cold and wet once again today, but we still did some
useful work in the wet conditions and practiced pit stops, which is
good experience for me. Im now hoping that the final test in
Barcelona will give us better weather so I can do some dry running
before we arrive in Bahrain.
Alan Permane,
Chief Engineer: It was another frustrating day with the
changeable weather, but we made the most of it to run both the wet
and intermediate tyres. In the afternoon, when the track was damp, we
chose to carry out some procedural work, including practice pit
stops. Overall Vitaly was quite happy with the car and showed good
pace today.
