Lotus, Pic: “Special to have been the first to try the new tyres”
The Frenchman also dedicated himself to working on aerodynamics
di Chiara Rainis9 July 2014
There were 38 laps covered by Charles Pic at the wheel of Lotus on the final day of testing at Silverstone. The Frenchman, tenth at the end with a time of 1'41"906, dedicated himself to studying tires and working on aerodynamics, not without some problems which forced him to replace the gearbox.
“It was a special experience to be the first to try the new 18-inch Pirellis – he revealed – They certainly give different sensations than the usual ones, so it was very interesting to experiment with them and give initial feedback to the technicians. In the afternoon, however, I returned to the classic 13" ones and focused on the evaluation with a high fuel load. I was happy to be able to drive the E22 again."
