"We were planning some tyres test today but again our job has been interrupted by some problems with the hydraulics. In any case we are learning a lot about the car and I am happy with the 2 days I spent in Barcelona. Tuesday I will fly to Brazil where I think we can expect a relatively good result because Interlagos will suit the TF102 very well. It's a horsepower circuit and our engine is good and you don't have to run maximum downforce."
