Pirelli were back in action with their 2009 Toyota on Thursday, with official test driver Lucas di Grassi beginning a two-day tyre test at Jerez. Proceedings will continue with the Brazilian, Virgin Racing’s reserve driver, on Friday.
“Jerez test done today,” di Grassi, who completed more than 150 laps, posted via his personal Twitter account. “Lots of laps, development gone well. Now its time to review today's work and get ready for tomorrow.”
Thursday’s test took place with ambient temperatures of over 35°C (95°F) in Andalucía, with the track figures reading more than 50°C (122°F) and di Grassi drinking over eight litres of water to remain well hydrated throughout the day.
