Renault well on the pace
19 October 2007 / Results / PhotosThe Renault Formula 1 team enjoyed a competitive first day in Brazil. The team found its way back into the top five with Giancarlo Fisichella. Kovalainen ended 12th but was just three tenths of a second behind on his team-mate.
Giancarlo Fisichella was positive about his two free practice sessions. He said at the end of the day: "I think we are in good shape after our first day of work here. The circuit was improving all the time this afternoon, but we made good progress with the set-up as well, and I think we were quite competitive. They have done a fantastic job with the resurfacing work, and the circuit is much better to drive now. The grip level was a bit low in the wet, but this afternoon it felt very good. Now we need to work hard overnight so we can build from this promising start to the weekend."

Heikki Kovalainen commented: "We got a lot done today in spite of the tricky conditions, and the basic balance of the car seems good. I need to find a little more pace from the car but I think we have some good directions for our work this evening, so we can do it. I learned the circuit quickly and I must say that I am really enjoying driving it, it is a fun track with a good mix of corners and gradient. I am looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow."
