Giampaolo Dall'Ara (Race Engineer): "It was quite a productive day today and we were able to complete the programme. Although we missed the scheduled long-run for the Michelin tyre evaluation our decision for Monaco is quite clear now. We also worked on the car set-up and validated front wing and suspension specifications for the next race. "Tomorrow we will run on a different track layout and focus on a medium downforce as well as Michelin tyre programme in preparation for the Canadian Grand Prix."
