Gascoyne: Shakedown was very successful

7 February 2007

On Tuesday the Spyker Formula 1 team enjoyed its debut with the team's 2007 contender. Spyker's technical director Mike Gascoyne was pleased with the day's work that was done under cold circumstances.


At Silverstone Christijan Albers completed 200km and focussed on testing systems and gathering data on the new car in advance of the first proper test in Barcelona next week.

Freezing and icy conditions limited track time, however chief technical officer, Mike Gascoyne, was pleased with the team's progress throughout the day. "We've had a very successful shakedown despite the cold weather and icy track, which limited our running to between 11am and 4pm, and we had no major mechanical problems," he said. "It's a tribute to the hard work of the guys back at the factory that we got the car ready on time and everything ran very smoothly. We expect similar track conditions tomorrow, when we look to continue testing the systems and picking up as much data as we can for Barcelona."
