Fisichella impresses

Jerez (Spain): Veteran Italian Giancarlo Fisichella clocked in a string of competitive times to finish 11th quickest of the 16 drivers as Force India completed its penultimate winter test here in style.

After taking over from German team-mate Adrian Sutil, the Italian underlined the continuing progress of the team and in better conditions recorded a best of 1min 20.669 as he worked through a programme of gearbox, electronic development and set-up.

The Formula One team, part-owned by Vijay Mallya, could not have asked for a better day and the outfit completed just under 400km, bringing the overall test mileage to over 1,200km.

McLaren driver Heikki Kovalainen became the only driver of the week to clock a time under the 1m 18s mark and his best lap, a 1m 17.974, was over half a second better than David Coulthard of Red Bull.

Kazuki Nakajima (1:19.117) of Williams stood third, ahead of Lewis Hamilton (1:19.429). — PTI
