Wurz enjoying return of slicks

18 November 2008

Alex Wurz kicked off the main test programme for Honda on Monday, evaluating various aerodynamic components for next season and running the Bridgestone Potenza slick tyres. 

"The view from the cockpit is just so much nicer with slick tyres on the car!" exclaimed Wurz. "As a driver, I prefer the driving style with slicks so I am happy that the change has finally come, even if it is too late for me to race with them. My focus for today was on gathering information with the tyres whilst running various 2009 downforce levels."

"We have come away with good answers and a clear direction so I am pleased with the work that we achieved," he added. "It was nice to see the two young guys in action with Honda today. Both understood the car very quickly but how they develop from here with a full day in the car will be important."
