The race weekend simulation was useful, but unfortunately my race distance was cut short, so we will rely more on the data from Paul\u2019s run yesterday. We were also busy trying all the tyre compounds to learn more about tyre management and how to get the most from them. You always want more time in the car, but I think we can be pleased with how our three tests have gone. We still need to find some more performance because the whole grid looks very close and competitive, and I expect the grid in Melbourne to be extremely tight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Jakob Andreasen, Chief Engineer, said \u201cToday\u2019s programme was a continuation of our race preparations and gave Nico the opportunity to have a dress rehearsal before we arrive in Melbourne. We started the day by addressing some the issues we spotted during yesterday\u2019s running and experimented with a few set-up solutions to try and ensure we develop a car that performs consistently across a wide operating window. That programme went well and allowed us to push ahead with our race weekend simulation in the middle of the morning. The race distance we had planned for the afternoon was interrupted by red flags, so we didn\u2019t hit our mileage targets, but it did give Nico a chance to do some extended running.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day Four Stats<br \/>Chassis: <\/strong>VJM05-03<br \/><strong>Laps: <\/strong>101<br \/><strong>Mileage: <\/strong>470 km<br \/><strong>Fastest lap: <\/strong>1:22.312<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-2947\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/force-india.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\" Force India wraps up its winter test programme\" width=\"250\" style=\"float: left; margin: 6px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/force-india.jpg 300w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/force-india-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><strong>Barcelona: <\/strong>Sahara Force India wrapped up its winter test programme on Sunday with Nico Hulkenberg covering 101 laps in the VJM05 as the team finalised its preparations for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p>Nico Hulkenberg said, \u201cWe managed to fit a lot in today and hopefully when we have been through all the data we will have learned a lot, too.
