Renault, Carmen Jorda: "I don't know Sorensen, in the simulator I was one second behind Grosjean"
Harsh response from the Renault test driver to her colleague Marco Sorensen
Accused by many - probably rightly - of being more of an image driver than a real tester, since the aesthetic qualities seem to far surpass the certainly not excellent skills behind the wheel, carmen jorda however, the accusations made against him by were not taken into account Mark Sorensen, a Danish driver who ended his relationship with Renault because he was literally "disgusted" by the reconfirmation of Jorda, a driver who he said was twelve seconds slower than him on the simulator.
The Spaniard, tester for Enstone's development also in 2016, he responded in a very caustical and piqued way to his colleague: “I honestly don't know who this Sorensen is, I never saw him at Enstone last year, I don't think he was even part of the team. I only know that in the simulator I was one second behind Grosjean. If someone says that he lapped twelve seconds faster than me then that means he would be eleven seconds faster than Romain. And the teams would compete to get someone like that, while I don't think he's in F1..."
Allow us a little comment on the story: even Formula 1 has some terribly "trash" moments.
