Zoom A long checklist for Bourdais at Monza

Having driven yesterday afternoon, Sebastien Bourdais brought this three-day test at the Monza circuit to a close, working on race preparation for the Italian Grand Prix.

On the agenda, a tyre comparison programme, evaluation of brakes, the Monza-specific aero configuration and general set-up work. Five red flag periods and a mechanical problem on the car reduced Bourdais' running time in the afternoon.

The Frenchman completed 77 laps and signed the seventh-fastest time.

"In general, this three-day test has gone well and produced some quite promising results," commented Chief Test Engineer, Gianvito Amico.

"Our focus was always on reliability and consistency, rather than looking for performance and the results would indicate that we are in good shape for the upcoming races," he said.
