 Jerez Test Summary 14-16:01:2008
 

TEAM QUOTES:
Sam Michael, Technical Director:
At Jerez we concluded a three day test with all our drivers working on the reliability of the 2008 transmission. We also continued work on electronic set-up for the standard ECU. Next week we’ll be in Valencia with our new car.

NakajimaKazuki Nakajima: This week’s testing was quite badly affected by the weather conditions. It was wet for most of day one and then for half of the session today as well. Apart from that, it’s been a productive three days for us. I’ve tried out many new things on the interim car which will be transferred over to the FW30, but I still need to do some work to get everything right. We’re running the new car next week and I’m really looking forward to driving it for the first time.

Well, I don't know about any electronic problems in the session for us , but with a standard ECU it's a challenge for every team and we saw alot of them parking their car on the side of track due to this problem...so pushing hard to not have these problems from debut of the car has the value to postpone debut of FW30.
