Ricardo Zonta 2005

Ricardo had a bit of a troublesome morning in first free practice and after 16 laps the car came to halt, with an electical problem but he still managed to colllect the second fastest time of 1m31.075s.

In the second free practice Ricardo finished first with a time of 1m30.682s and completed 21 laps. Ricardo had this to say about his two sessions at suzuka : "The last time I drove here at Suzuka was back in 2000 so I'm glad to have gone so well on such a difficult, technical circuit. I took a risk with my set-up this morning and that gave me too much oversteer on the dirty track. Then we felt a good improvement before we had an electronic problem. In the afternoon there was the threat of rain so we had to work fast. I was driving the TF105 but the tyre comparison can still transfer to the B car so that is no problem."
