Wind big influence on the car - Kubica
After the showers yesterday, bright and sunny conditions greeted the team this morning and the track remained dry throughout the day. Robert’s programme included set-up and procedural work that ultimately totaled 100 laps.
Driver: Robert Kubica
Chassis: R3002
Total Laps: 100 laps
Fastest Lap: 1:22.017
Robert Kubica: “In the morning it was damp so we just did an installation lap to check everything was working and waited for the track to dry. The conditions were quite windy, which has a big influence on the car, but we were able to test quite a lot of things so I’m pretty pleased with the day.”
Alan Permane, Chief Engineer: “Finally the weather improved and we managed to complete a productive day of work. Early on the track was still damp, but it dried out quite quickly and we got some useful set-up work done with Robert, which has taken us in a good direction. We also spent some time doing procedural work and practice starts with a heavy car. Robert also ran a couple of different dry tyre compounds to compare them, which was useful.”
