Liuzzi covering the miles for Force India

Force India F1 test driver Vitantonio Liuzzi completed 108 laps at Silverstone on Tuesday. The Italian was back behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car for the first time since his test at Paul Ricard six weeks ago.

At Silverstone liuzzi busied himself with testing major aerodynamic upgrades for the team's VJM01. He furthermore focussed on the set-up of the car for next week's British Grand Prix.

"It was a long day with a lot of laps as fortunately the weather stayed dry and we could get some consistent running," said Liuzzi about his day of testing. "The guys did a really good job and the car was very reliable. As a result it was a good day of testing. The new parts we ran gave a positive impact on the car and Giancarlo and Adrian will have some more bits to test for the rest of the test.

"We covered a lot of miles and did some quick laps and the balance of the car felt better. The new package is working well so far and hopefully in the next two days we will improve the speed as well."

Force India will continue testing at Silverstone on Wednesday and Thursday.
