Virgin evaluates 2012 components in Korea

14 October 2011

Friday saw Virgin Racing undertake what Team Principal John Booth described as an ‘ambitious programme’, with the Sheffield-based outfit trialling a number of new car parts for 2012 alongside its preparations for this weekend’s Korean Grand Prix.

“It’s been a difficult first day with the wet conditions because I think that tomorrow, and on Sunday, it will be dry,” said Timo Glock, whose Friday ended in 21st position and 1.1 seconds slower than the closest Lotus of Jarno Trulli.

“We will have to do a bit of catching up tomorrow, but today was okay even though we had a bit of a problem on the front-left suspension - where we had to change some parts and it cost us a bit of time.

“The wet conditions also make it more of a challenging track, but the day went well and it was good to be able to evaluate some developments for 2012. Tomorrow we have to concentrate on qualifying and our race preparation.”
