Sutil happy with Force India progress
25 July 2008 / Results / PhotosAdrian Sutil brought the Force India Formula One Team's three-day test at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit to a close today. The German completed 72 laps over the day as work continued on the new seamless shift gearbox and development of the 2009 slick tyres.
Aside from a minor mechanical issue that caused a little downtime over the lunchtime period, the programme went to plan, with Adrian recording a best lap time of 1min 19.965.
"Today was quite a good day," said Sutil. "This morning I was very happy with the balance of the car and enjoyed testing the seamless shift box for the first time. We had a few small problems towards the middle of the day, but overall it felt good and it seemed like a step forward. When we got going again in the afternoon, we tried the slick tyres and, although I enjoyed trying them out again, we couldn't seem to get a good balance with them. There's quite a lot of work still to do before 2009, but then we still have time to get it right."
