Silverstone: Davide Valsecchi completed the second day of running at the Silverstone Young Driver Test as the third-fastest driver of the day. After completing 91 laps, Davide recorded the fourth-fastest time overall due to Daniel Ricciardo setting lap times in two different cars.<\/p>\n
Davide ran through a programme of aerodynamic assessments including analysis work on the team\u2019s rear wing \u2018Device\u2019. Nico Prost returns to the car on Friday in a change to the original programme \u2013 which had seen Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen set to take the wheel \u2013 made following clarification of FIA rules.<\/p>\n
Davide Valsecchi said, \u201cToday was the highlight of my season and I really enjoyed my time in the car. Everything seemed to be going well and I hope that I\u2019ve been able to contribute to the team\u2019s efforts ahead of the next race in Budapest. We completed all the jobs on the schedule and I think I got some extra laps in too. I did miss the pit board for a few laps when the team was trying to call me in as the radio was broken. I stayed out until I thought they were going to throw the pit board at me, then I thought it was better that I came in!\u201d

Alan Permane, Trackside Operations Director said: \u201cAnother excellent day from our perspective, with a full programme completed enabling us to develop our rear wing \u2018Device\u2019. It was perfect to test it here as we previously ran with the \u2018Device\u2019 at the British Grand Prix, so the data from that event combined with today\u2019s work has allowed us to further refine it. Within today\u2019s running we used the hard and medium tyres in high and low fuel configurations. We\u2019re beginning to get a good understanding of the latest tyre evolution and have been looking at how best to get and keep them in their optimum operating window. We have some good data to study the tyre degradation characteristics and we\u2019re well placed to go into the final day of the test and make further progress.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
