Albers enjoys Spyker-Ferrari debut

6 February 2007

At Silverstone Christijan Albers completed his first laps in the Spyker-Ferrari car. The Dutchman completed over 30 laps with only minor problems during the team its first outing with the new car.


"Our day went really well at Silverstone," Albers said after his day of testing. "I have to say I'm really proud of the guys in the factory who made it possible to drive this new car."

It was the car's debut with Ferrari engines and fortunately for the team without any problems. "The Ferrari engine and our new gearbox worked great. It all looks very promising. We did have some minor issues with our car but those are just small problems we can fix easily. At a first test of the car you always find all sorts of things you can improve."


On Wednesday Adrian Sutil will take over from Christijan Albers at Silverstone. The next test session will be next week at Circuit de Catalunya. "I can not wait to get more mileage in the car. Next week we'll travel to Barcelona and hopefully I can complete more laps there to improve the car and get it ready for this year's first race in Melbourne."
