Fernando Alonso has confirmed that Ferrari hopes for more dry running opportunities at Jerez on Wednesday but has also noted that the handling of the F10 was satisfying as Formula 1 encountered a wet track for the first time this year.
Having driven during the opening hour, Ferrari elected to keep Alonso in the pits as garage work scheduled for the lunch hour was brought forward; however, the hope that the rain would pass was not realised as the former double World Champion finished the day fourth.
"The work was influenced by the bad weather, but nevertheless we managed to drive many kilometres and almost did 90 laps," reported Alonso, whose precise total for the day was 88. "So we're satisfied because we could collect lots of data, which is important for reliability.
"We hope that the weather is better tomorrow because it's important to drive on a dry track, too. The car went very well on the wet track, though, and it's easy to drive - the feeling is good, just like in the dry. All in all, I had some positive feelings today."
