Ricardo Zonta 2004

In the first session of the Malaysian gp Ricardo worked on basic set up for the gp, he completed the session with a time of 1:36.147s in 4th place and 22 laps of the circuit, In the second session he worked on tyre comparisons and finished 13th with a time of 1:13.850s after completing 27 laps.

Ricardo had this to say on completion of the sessions:"I think we have found a good choice of Michelin tyre for this weekend. We tried both of the compounds and quickly found a fast, but consistent tyre. My lap time was also encouraging. With the last set, I was about 5-tenths quicker than my previous best lap, but then I hit traffic at the exit of turn 11 exit, which lost me time. Nevertheless, I am pleased with my second race weekend of driving the third car in Friday practice. I think the team and my crew worked extremely well and things appear to be going in the right direction."
