Paul Russell (Test Engineer):

"Today we focused on assessing several cooling options in preparation for forthcoming hot weather races, and today’s high ambient and track temperatures helped us to get clear ideas. We also worked on the set-up of the car and evaluated together with Michelin the tyre compound for the French Grand Prix next week. Overall, it was a good and productive test day for us.

"For the rest of the week we have planned to do long-runs for further Michelin tyre tests and to check new aerodynamic parts."
