Garda: this is the first time I was driving a formula 1 car in the rain

On Friday in Barcelona Guido van der garde took sixth place in the informal Protocol session, but because of the rain team today didn't work on speed. . .
Guido van der garde: Despite the bad weather the day turned out to be productive. Perhaps he was one of the most cool of those when I worked on the track, but even cold pavement and alternating rain, we were able to accomplish some tasks.

Perhaps in such circumstances, the spectators did not feel quite comfortable, but it was useful to drive a few laps on intermediate tyres and evaluate the behavior of the machine in a changing environment. Besides, today is the first time I had driven the car of Formula 1 in the rain. In addition, we tried to check out some ideas aimed at improving the stability of the rear, but since the rubber hardly warmed up, not being able to attack in full force.

In General, tests were successful: we acted according to plan, tried to complete all planned tasks. We now have information that would be well prepared for the final test here in Barcelona next week.
