“The conclusion of the tests is certainly positive, many favourable data have emerged and above all the excellent team spirit”, underlined Team Principal, Raimondo Amadio, “the work of Lacorte and Sernagiotto showed a solid growth in this very important preliminary phase. Although with fewer laps compared to the two Italians, Nasr came in tune with the track and the car. The low-downforce kit also gave us a good feedback. Now we have to optimize the race configuration and work on the 24-hours distance “
