I spent some time on the track and with the team we focused on different variations of the package. I found a configuration that I liked and this allowed us to take a step forward. I'm happy about this. Tomorrow we will focus on the electronics and chassis, using the same engine as the last tests. The sensations are positive and we will continue to work in this direction."
