Charles is satisfied with Friday of Toro Rosso

Published on 19 June 2015 by Niels Hendrix

Phil Charles, chief race engineer of Scuderia Toro Rosso, says after the free practices on Friday in Spielberg: “A pretty good first day here in Austria. Both drivers settled in well and we were able to test some new parts on both cars, which worked positively. We also set the two cars up slightly differently today and there’s some interesting information for us to go through tonight.”

“Probably the biggest thing for us to go away and work on now has to do with the amount of graining when on the option tyre. We seem to be a lot happier on primes, so we need to work on the set-up and make sure we find a way to work around this graining. But overall we can be satisfied with our Friday, we ticked all the boxes on the programme.”
