Davidson feels good progress was made, ""It was a very successful test for us in Jerez. On the two days that I drove we managed to improve our traction control and continue learning about the new Bridgestone Potenza tyres. We made further progress on the balance of the car and the Honda engine was reliable once again, so we were able to cover 259 laps over the two days."

Sato pleased after the successful test, "It was a very successful test for us in Jerez.
