and now here is Fernando Alonso's thoughts after this 3rd testing day where he has tested the new tires and made some long runs :
"It's very important to have many miles one after the other without encountering any problem. This means that we can collect lots of data, which is useful, especially when it comes to understanding the tire behavior, which is the biggest unknown in these trials. I said earlier in Valencia and I repeat today: we must not think about what others are doing in terms of time. It better to focus on our own efforts and then we'll see where we are in Bahrain in a month, "said Fernando Alonso. Today, the Spaniard was wearing a helmet specially dedicated to his friend Robert Kubica: "I am delighted that the condition of Robert evolving in a positive way, each passing day. Now he will need patience, but the thing The most important is that it gets better."
