Changing from driving a HRT to the new Ferrari will likely feel incredible...
DLRs first attempt on driving a Ferrari...
De la Rosa is a very consistent driver, and very sensitive to changes. Otherwise he wouldn't be one of the highest rated in the business. IMO De la Rosa will drive to ensure that the simulator correlates correctly with car behavior, and as such is part of Ferrari's CFD/WT recalibration program.
IMO he's also one of, if not the best, on setting up a car based on "initial feel" - as you would expect of someone so experienced. It could be that he's driving here (more specifically, on the last day) to help start with a positive setup for Barcelona.
