Max Chilton: there are very positive signs

In each of the three test days in Jerez in Marussia faced with a few problems. Today, the new MR02 too long stood in the boxes - due to electronics failure, but Max Chilton is still able to drive 78 laps on the best of them ninth time of day.
Max Chilton: "I am pleased, as was my second day driving MR02 - today I was able to demonstrate the potential of our machines. To draw conclusions too early, but there are very positive signs, which inspires optimism.
I have successfully conducted a simulation of the race, gradually begin to understand how rubber behaves on the track. After a long series of laps at the end of the day we put a fresh set in order still better to understand the machine, and what we saw was encouraging".
John Booth, team principal: "overall, the day went well - we are moving in the right direction. I'm not quite satisfied with the number of kilometers traveled, but we were able to pass by the distance of the race and discover areas in which you want to add.
Since it was the final working day max this week, we have developed a special program. Balance and machine settings are far from ideal, we still have much to do, and some key questions we will tackle tomorrow, after a morning of tests reliability - with Luis Rodriguez Razia. I want to thank max for his excellent work. The task was difficult, but he did it".
