Jolyon Palmer
"I was happy to complete 90 laps with a variety of different simulations where I sampled the car on different tires, fuel and set-up combinations. The team is certainly well prepared, and I'm confident of being able to show well for the first race and beyond. We didn't quite manage all we had planned for today, but that's the nature of testing. We're definitely in a good place looking to the start of the season."
Fred Vasseur, #racing Director
"It's been a strong and productive test for the team, and it's been great to see the combination of Enstone and Viry reunited and doing what they do best on track. For sure, there have been some minor glitches over the course of the eight days in Barcelona, but that is the nature of testing. The important factors are that we have a good base to work from and a great collection of people working towards the same objective. Both Jolyon and Kevin have been impressive and we all can't wait to see how the last two week's work translates once we get on track in Albert Park."
