“We had no problems with our car, and there were few interruptions for red flags, so we were able to run pretty much constantly throughout,” Fantuzzi said, “Our programme focused on set-up work, evaluating different brake materials and assessing different aero downforce levels.”
Race regular Tonio Liuzzi replaces Jani tomorrow [Wednesday], just one of a raft of changes that also sees Gene being partnered by
Felipe Massa and Rosberg by
Mark Webber.
Renault, with world champion
Fernando Alonso, McLaren-Mercedes, with
Kimi Raikkonen and Pedro de la Rosa, as well as
Honda,
Toyota, BMW-Sauber and
Super Aguri all begin their own programmes in a session that ends on Friday.
