Mugello Private Tests Live – Day 3
Third and final day of private testing at Mugello and, for the teams, the last chance to try out new parts before the Spanish Grand Prix next week. The casinoenligne.uk.com team remains at their post to bring you, throughout the day, the last laps of the cars on the Italian circuit and to answer your questions if necessary.
After a first day greatly disrupted by rain, the drivers are meeting today to continue or, for some, begin the only private tests conducted during the season.
As during the pre-season tests, the editorial team of casinoenligne.uk.com is mobilizing to bring you these tests, live interactive text, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. So feel free to ask us your questions or share your comments, even if we won’t be able to publish them all.
If the HRT team decided to skip these tests to settle into their new facilities, all the other teams will be in action with, subject to changes, Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), Oliver Turvey (McLaren), Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), Romain Grosjean (Lotus), Nico Rosberg (Mercedes), Paul di Resta and Nico Hülkenberg (Force India), Sergio Perez (Sauber), Daniel Ricciardo (Toro Rosso), Pastor Maldonado (Williams), Heikki Kovalainen (Caterham) or even Timo Glock (Marussia).
