"We had a good session today and we managed to work extensively on different areas of the car. I was happy to be back in the TF103 for my last day of testing this week, and it was good to get a feeling for it again. I completed over 2000kms with the new car since early January and I feel really positive about it. The team gave me the chance to experience several different tracks, I learnt as much as possible from everything, but I think you never feel completely ready anyway. Now I am really looking forward to the race one week away and to get into it for real!"
