Fisichella 3rd fastest in Monza testing

Giancarlo Fisichella ran a faultless 114 laps in his Force India car and posted the third fastest time of the day to cap the outfit’s three-day Monza testing for the Italian Grand Prix.

Fisichella continued the evaluation of set-ups and wing levels specifically for his home Grand Prix, and the Belgian grand prix before that, as he worked to optimise balance and braking over the kerbs.
The VJM01 ran faultlessly, allowing the Italian to complete 114 laps, more than 600km, and bring the total test mileage to over 1,700km.

“Today we made some positive steps forward for the Italian Grand Prix, particularly with the balance and set-up,” Fisichella said.

“I could push, particularly in the afternoon and the pace over the longer runs was also good. You never know what the other teams are doing with their own programmes, but I think the race will be very close between us and Honda. I think we’ve made good progress here.”
