Paul Russell (Test Engineer):

"In the morning we had a very good session and achieved a decent lap time. Things went really well and we were trying to catch up the time we lost yesterday with the red-flag periods. Then Felipe unfortunately experienced a rear left rim failure caused by a foreign object trapped inside the suspension components. He went off track at the entry of turn 5 and damaged the car in such a way that it was not possible to go on with the test today. It's really a shame, but it's more important that Felipe is okay.

"We will rebuild the car and have it ready tomorrow morning for Jacques to concentrate on the major development programme items."
