Hulkenberg: “We learned a lot today”

First position with Nico Hulkenberg, 79 laps, work on aerodynamics, medium and soft tyres, set-up and balance. This summarizes the challenging first day of testing in Bahrain for the Force India.

“It was a positive day in which we learned a lot – reported the German who will also be behind the wheel of the VJM07 tomorrow – Considering the moment, the time set seems relevant to me and it is good to have completed so many laps including two long runs towards the end afternoon session, useful for having an overall picture of the single-seater, which was missed during the tests in Spain. I'm happy to have already been able to take care of the set-up and driveability of the car, but we're only at the beginning and a lot remains to be done."
