Toro Rosso Valencia Test Day 2

3rd February 2010

Circuit: Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana – 4.005 kms
Driver: Sebastien Buemi
Chassis: STR5 - 02
Best time: 1:13.823, 107 laps

A better day today for the new car. Overnight, the team managed to locate
and fix the gearbox actuator problem that meant the car spent much of
yesterday in the garage.

Therefore today, Sebastien Buemi completed a good number of laps and
the team worked through the normal programme for a new car: carrying out
basic evaluations of the car systems and brakes, as well as starting to get
an understanding of the two new Bridgestone compounds that are available
here in Valencia.

Sebastien Buemi: “The car felt good today and I’m happy to have
completed many more laps compared to yesterday. We still had some
minor issues, but we were able to fix these. By the end of the day we have
collected a lot of data to analyse, which will help us to get a better
understanding of the new car. A comparison with the old car is difficult
because of the different fuel loads and tyres that apply this year.
All in all, it was a good day and we will see what we can learn tomorrow.”

For Wednesday’s final day of this test, Jaime Alguersuari takes over from
Sebastien Buemi.
