Paul Ricard - Renault - Testing Day 4Renault have tackled all these legendary parts of the Paul Ricard circuit this week. On Friday, it was
Giancarlo Fisichella’s turn to take the wheel for the fourth and final day of testing.
Working on a Canada-type circuit, 5.255
km in length, Fisichella continued the team’s development programme in preparation for the next two Grand Prix, and particularly Canada, building on the data collected by his team-mate yesterday.
The Roman ran without problems, and completed the planned programme of set-up work and aerodynamic testing. At the close of play, he had completed 112 laps with a best time of 1:29.209.
Chief Test Engineer Christian Silk summarised the situation: “We concluded our programme with a good day’s work.
The car was handling well, and we made good progress in preparation for the next races. It was a long, busy test this week but everybody gave maximum effort – and I think the good results we achieved this week, will keep us pushing even harder in the weeks ahead!”
After four busy days of testing, it’s now time for the test team to head home – and for the race team to hit the road in the direction of Monaco, where set-up will begin on Sunday morning.
