Adrian Sutil was in action for Force India in Valencia on Wednesday, focussing on dampers and completing 98 laps. The German's best time, a 1m13.409 was good enough for 14th, ahead of Jarno Trulli's Toyota, Rubens Barrichello in Honda's new car, and Takashi Kogure who was way off the pace. The fastest man on track was Heikki Kovalainen who set a 1m11 flat, 2.409 seconds faster than Sutil's fastest

Mike Gascoyne commented, 'today was a very productive day, completing almost 100 laps with a scheduled engine change at lunch. We completed our programme of damper and set-up work and further development of the ECU and had a useful day with no reliability issues.'

Adrian Sutil added, 'we had quite a good day today, completing nearly 100 laps. We were able to do quite a few runs in the afternoon and the times were pretty OK and the balance, as usual, was good and getting better. I'm now back feeling much more comfortable after a long break over Christmas and I'm much more used to driving without traction control. We're tweaking the settings all the time and getting closer to the edge.'

Fisichella will conclude the team's test on Thursday.
