Gutierrez: it was important to work in the rain

Due to the changeable weather on the final day of testing in Barcelona Sauber, like the other participants, had to act according to the situation: a short period of time when the track was relatively dry, was devoted to the validation of aerodynamics, and the rest of the day Esteban Gutierrez was reeled circles, evaluating the behavior of rainfall and the intermediate rubber. . .
Esteban Gutierrez: A very busy day for me and the team was very important for us to work in the rain! Personally I first drove a Formula 1 machine in the rain, and here especially interesting was the first half of the day, when the track was wet at first, and then start to dry out. I happened to go on slicks in extremely difficult conditions-with something like I can face in racing, so the main thing is to feel the slightest changes in the environment. In the afternoon I was comparing staging and rain tires and learned a lot-just what I need!

Tom McCulloughChief Engineer: racing Forecast confirmed-all day was alternating rain. During a brief morning lull we had time to check the aerodynamics and gathered important information for final tests, which will take place next week. Well, the rest of the day Sebastian devoted run-in staging and rain rubber within the overall preparations for the upcoming season.
