Renault’s Kevin Magnussen has once again been pleased with getting more laps on his car at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The Danish driver completed 119 laps on his way to tenth place in the timesheets with a lap time of 1:25.760, 2.7 seconds behind Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg, who led the session.
Magnussen gave an upbeat summary to his day: “It was another strong day with lots of laps completed. There’s a positive feeling with this car but equally, we know where we need to make improvements and that’s what we’re working towards. It’s great to be able to get so much mileage for myself and the team as we can really make good progress.”
Nick Chester, the Chassis Technical Director of Renault, echoed those sentiments: “A pretty good day for us with the car running reliably and completing 119 laps. We were able to work on both front and rear suspension set up as well as aero data logging which will give us further direction for the remainder of the test.
“All of today’s programme has been completed so there is a satisfying amount of data to process ahead of tomorrow.”
Magnussen continues in the RS16 tomorrow for his final laps before the Australian Grand Prix.
