Kimi Raikkonen"If yesterday day was not perfect, but today it was even worse. Fortunately, when I still was able to complete the circle, it became clear that we have a good pace.

Objective tests - detection problems, in this sense, we are coping with their work, but such delays are upset. Need to drive a greater distance, and it will be our goal for the remaining days of tests.
Alan Permanechief race engineer: "We quickly found the reason for the refusal of the box, but its elimination demanded time. This has seriously affected our plans, but we learned again that we have a fast machine.

However, there is good news - yesterday's problems with the telemetry is not repeated, and the second transmission worked reliably Tomorrow we will try to go more circles and evaluate the operation of the machine at a distance race.
In the next two days behind the wheel of the Lotus E21 will sit Roman Grosjean. . .
