Renault happy with new car progress

19 January 2007

The Renault team recovered from a stutter on the first day of testing earlier this week for its new car to cover more than 1,300km with the R27 by the end of testing on Thursday, which is just more than they had managed at the same point with last year's car.

"We had another good day with the R27 as we started looking at some set-up changes, and understanding the handling," said Fisichella. "We made improvements through the day, and the progress confirmed the potential I could feel in the package during our reliability work yesterday. I think we have had a very encouraging week so far, although there are still some problems to fix, like with any new car. But that is what winter testing is all about: every problem we find here, is one that we don't have to worry about in Melbourne in two months' time."
