Speaking about this week's test programme Fisichella told GPUpdate.net: "The reliability is quite good. We need a bit more speed, but we're moving in the right direction. It's difficult to find a good balance, because the grip of the tyres is quite low. We still have work to do, but we're moving in the right direction."
Fisichella believes there are three teams to keep an eye on in Renault's race for the championship. "I think Ferrari looks very good on the long runs. BMW looks good, just like McLaren. I expect to see McLaren much quicker than they were last year," said Fisichella. "In Barcelona, McLaren look similar to our pace, Ferrari seems very good on the race distance, especially in the first laps. I'm sure they did a good job and they have good data from the past, even if the tyre is different. It's Bridgestone, so it's more or less the same. I think they (Ferrari) have an advantage. I think we're al little bit down on Ferrari, but we have great potential."
