Productive day for Jean-Eric Vergne

“It was not a day without difficulties, but that is the lot of tests, explains Vergne. That said, we did some serious work today, which can inform us on how to move forward for the next part of the season. From this point of view, the day was very productive and important. Another positive point is that I feel good in the car. She has good potential and is doing really well, once we have everything under control, which is very encouraging. »

The Frenchman completed 63 laps today, and finished with the second fastest time in 1'35″557. Toro Rosso did not encounter any engine problems unlike Romain Grosjean's Lotus, quite angry at the unworthy performance of the tricolor V6 in his E22.
