Gené fastest on final day at Monza

Marc Gené set the pace on the final day of testing this week at Monza. The Spaniard was working on tyre testing and finished 0.4s ahead of BAR Honda tester Anthony Davidson.

It was another hot and sunny day at the circuit near Milan and three teams were in action - Ferrari, BAR and Sauber. Felipe Massa was in action for Sauber finishing the day 0.5s behind Gené.

"Today we have further worked with Felipe on our race preparation for Indianapolis and could verify the data we gathered the last two days," explained Sauber chief race engineer Jacky Eeckeleart. "Overall, I can say that the test this week went well. In those three days we could run more than 1.600 kilometres and the C24 proved once again its high reliability. We were able to complete our scheduled programme for the Canadian and United States Grand Prix, whereby we concentrated on the evaluation of new aerodynamic parts for the required medium downforce at these two races, and worked with Michelin on the tyre selection. Considering the outcome of this test I believe that we are well prepared for the forthcoming North American rounds."
