Ricardo Zonta 2005

Ricardo was back running on the Friday practice sessions for the gp weekend, and australia being the first of the season. He was working on tyre comparisons and had a few small problems, he finished the first session in 11th place with a time of 1:28.118s and completed 17 laps in the second session he finished 14th with a time of 1:27.165s and completed 25 laps.

Ricardo had this to say about todays sessions:"In the first session, the track was quite slippery and so I didn't push so much. The conditions improved as the session went on and I began to find the limits. In the second session, we did a back-to-back tyre comparison. We did a long run with the best set we found and the performance was quite consistent. We also found a good balance on the car, which should benefit the race drivers tomorrow. I am very pleased to be back driving during race weekends again and I hope my work today has helped."
