Force India driver Paul di Resta finished the first day of testing at Jerez on the fourth line, but the greatest distance traveled days-89 circles.
Paul di Resta: first day passed positively, I managed to go a great distance, and this is now the most important thing. In the new car I really comfortable, we fully implemented the planned programme.
The team focused on gathering data to understand the aerodynamic, how they correlate with the information that we receive while modeling on the base. In addition, we have tried to learn as much as you can about the new tire to use this information tomorrow and adjust settings. New structures and new construction are quite different from last year, and I felt the difference in the balance machine on slow and fast sections of the road.
Jacob Andreasen, the Chief race engineer: Tests have begun and we are very pleased with how today went. We managed to run the entire program, despite the red flags, preryvavšie arrivals. In the morning we focused on collecting data on the effectiveness of aerodynamic solutions and closer to dinner started the search settings.
In the afternoon, Paul drove a few more long sessions in which we studied new tires year 2013, especially the composition of the Medium. We have made steady progress, and the day before tomorrow's are in great shape.
