Max Chilton: it took a while to get into the rhythm

Marussia F1 team has begun the second part of the pre-season tests, and on Tuesday while driving in Barcelona worked MR02 Max Chilton, after 65 laps with a best time of 1:26, 747, showing the 10th result of the day.
In the first day of the session included the testing of all the systems of the new machines, as well as the search of optimal setting.
Max Chilton: "In the morning, it took me a while to get into the rhythm, because the road was dusty, and the weather is pretty cool, and the first part of our program is primarily focused on testing the KERS and other on-board systems.
In the afternoon we were able to find the settings, and the first results of this work have been very encouraging. I am pleased with the outcome of the day-10-m period-given by the riders what commands I ended up. Tomorrow we will continue to build up speed, once in the evening, reconsider the information received. In any case, a good start has been made. "
John Booth, team leader: "after a week of work based on analysis of data collected in Jerez, nice to be back on the track in Barcelona where we apply the findings in practice, continuing refinements MR02.
The fact that this is a typical route is very important at this stage of the pre-season programme: in the morning, almost immediately, we were able to better understand the behaviour of the tyres in Jerez answers to this question, we have not received. Having completed health check of all systems and having tested several versions of the revised configuration of the engine, we were able to find the settings.
In General, the results are positive, although we still need to think about how to work more efficiently in cooler weather conditions. We are motivated, that tomorrow will be okay too. Max worked pretty well today, and the feedback that he has provided, in conjunction with the telemetry data will help us to make progress. "
