Sutil clocks second best in Formula 1 testing

JEREZ - The Force India Formula One Team finished the VJM03’s maiden test here on a positive note, with Adrian Sutil posting the second quickest time of the day, a one minute, 20.180 seconds, behind McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton (1:20.180).

Conditions remained dry from mid-morning Saturday, allowing the team to run through systems checks, set-up evaluation and tyre comparisons. Sutil completed 84 laps of the Spanish track to bring the total test mileage to more than 1,200 kms.

Testing resumes next week, again at Jerez, from 17 - 20 February. New test and reserve driver Paul di Resta will get his first outing in the VJM03 on 17 February before Sutil and Vitantonio Liuzzi take over for the remainder of the test.
