The track boasts a mix of high, medium and low-speed corners, with several direction changes, some climbs and drops and a long main start-finish straight and thus provides a real test of a car’s abilities. Pirelli is supplying the same three tyre compounds as those used at the first Silverstone race. “When you get to the Barcelona track you already know it will be a race where it’s the small details that make the difference. The teams and drivers all know this track very well and that’s why, right from the start of Friday free practice, you can work on fine-tuning the car. As was the case in the two Silverstone races, I thing tyre management will be very important. It will be important not to make any mistakes in qualifying to try and get the most out of the car in race configuration.”. Last week the team was taking part in the second race at Silverstone.
