Jaime Alguersuari experimented with a new brake configuration in Valencia’s first practice session on Friday morning although, after driving the street circuit in his home country for the first time, the Toro Rosso man elected to use the more familiar – and what he believes to be quicker – previous setup.
Fresh from his 4-point haul in Canada a fortnight ago, Sébastien Buemi led the way for Toro Rosso in 16th position on Friday, with Alguersuari two places and three tenths of a second further back.
“In the morning we did a useful test on the brakes,” Jaime explained. “However, I preferred the previous system, which we went back to for the afternoon – therefore FP1 did not mean much but, as the track conditions improved a lot for the afternoon, that was not a problem.
“In FP2, the car felt quite good and I was getting a much better feeling with the brakes, which are very important here because on this track you can gain a lot of time through your braking.
“It was particularly good on the long runs, so I am expecting a lot from tomorrow as we improved the car significantly from the morning to the afternoon and there is the potential to improve still more.”
