Toro Rosso drivers fastest on low fuel loads

Formula 1 people are creatures of habit and as it's Saturday, the Toro Rosso boys decided to have a go at a simulated Qualifying session, hence the fact that Vettel and Bourdais topped the time sheets, running on low fuel loads.

In fact, the whole day was given over to simulating a race weekend, not just for the benefit of our French rookie driver, but for the entire race team. It was a successful day, both in terms of the « dress rehearsal »and in terms of continuing to gather data on the interim car, with which the team will start the season and which we forgot to mention earlier, should be referred to as the STR2B.

Testing continues tomorrow at this circuit.
