Caterham satisfied with their Friday

Decent first day of free practice in Korea for the Caterham, capable of keeping the two Marussias behind.

“FP1 was overall positive, the sensations were good, particularly in the slow corners – he stated Charles Pic, 19th and 20th – For the second run we decided to make some changes to the rear camber and remove some of the front wing, which brought some improvements even if the grip started to decrease and I experienced a lot of lock-up. At that point during the break we made some more adjustments and the stability benefited from it. Tire degradation is also quite good, despite a bit of understeer."

“It was one of my best Fridays and certainly knowing the track helped me – he said Giedo Van der Garde, 20th and 19th – Initially I suffered a bit of oversteer entering the fast and slow corners, as well as some traction problems, so the guys had to intervene on the front. In the afternoon the car immediately behaved better and I was able to push without worrying too much. Everything according to plan even with the tires, albeit a bit of understeer with the supersofts and overheating with the mediums when I was doing the long run."
