MARIO ISOLA - HEAD OF F1 AND
CAR RACING
“We’ve had eight productive days of testing, with teams accumulating
plenty of running in generally good conditions, although – as expected at
this time of year – without reaching the temperatures we anticipate during
the season. Considering this, we are satisfied that all five compounds are
performing as we planned, even though the softest compound is not really
suited to Barcelona. As usual, during the second week of testing, teams were
sampling a wider range of compounds and targeting performance and race
procedures in preparation for Australia. What’s perhaps more surprising is
the pace of the cars at this point in the season: not only are they going
faster than last year’s test, despite being 10 kilograms heavier. We
experienced a bit of graining in cooler temperatures, which should disappear
in warmer weather, and no blistering. It’s hard to get a precise read on
degradation in these conditions. At the moment we’re seeing a gap of around
0.6 to 0.7 seconds between each of the compounds seen on track in Barcelona,
which should translate to our target of about 0.9 seconds on a longer
circuit in warmer weather.” |
