Day 2 at Jerez for Toro Rosso

By on

Having previously completed a couple of days testing with the team at the tail end of 2005, Scott Speed returned to the cockpit of a Scuderia Toro Rosso car for the second and final day of the Jerez test, taking over from Tonio Liuzzi.

Circuit: Jerez de la Frontera - 4.428 km
Car: RBR1-04
Driver: Scott Speed
Laps: 65
Best time: 1.20.970

Franz Tost, Team Principal "Things did not go as well as yesterday. This was primarily because of several Red Flag periods caused by other cars. But we also lost about an hour with a fuel pressure problem while Scott was doing some set-up work, as we then had to change the fuel pump. Nevertheless Scott was able to do a reasonable number of laps and, overall, these two days have given us a good basis on which to prepare for our next test, starting on 25th January in Barcelona."
