James Rossiter: “The car balance was good and the longer runs went well”

Anthony spent the morning completing engine mapping work whilst also practicing race starts. He continued with set-up work in the afternoon and completed a total of 78 laps for the day.

The SA07 ran reliably and with out any issues for the duration of the three-day test.

“It was a very good week in Jerez. For the two days that I was driving we worked on car set-up for Magny-Cours and to further our understanding of the Bridgestone tyres. The car balance was good and the longer runs went well. We also worked on optimising traction control with the Bridgestone engineers. ”

“We have had perfect weather for testing and it was good to be back at the Jerez circuit again as I have not driven here for a while. I could feel the improvement made on the car since the winter, which is always positive. Today we worked mainly on traction control and some set-up work to give us better performance on long runs. I am happy with the work achieved today and am looking forward to the French Grand Prix next week. ”

Graham Taylor, Sporting Director

“We have had a good three days with the both drivers able to complete their workloads and, as always, we concentrated on ‘quality not quantity’ with the car running reliably. The lovely Spanish weather allowed for progress to be made with both the Honda power-train and Bridgestone Potenza tyres. ”
