here is what Fernando Alonso declared after this last day of tests :
"The best thing about these first two test sessions is definitely reliability. Felipe [Massa] and I have always been able to at least 100 revolutions per day, which is very positive. Our goal during these tests is to make car as strong as possible and then, when we are in Bahrain to introduce some developments for performance,"said Fernando Alonso to the reporters at Jerez.
"As I've said many times recently, there is no reason to watch the leaves of time, but it would be very surprising if a team other than Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes was fighting for victories. Red Bull finished last year with an advantage of about half a second on another and it would be strange if they are not the strongest in Bahrain."
More , Fernando Alonso thinks that the area of 600 meters fixed by the FIA to use the moveable rear wing is too short :
"we've tried the moveable rear wing in race conditions, but it is too early to clearly understand if overtaking will be easier. We need to see if the area of 600 meters set by the FIA is not too restrictive but we know that this situation can always be revisited" said the Spaniard. "From what little we've seen, I think it will always be very difficult to move a car with a similar level of performance to yours. The system works well on our car: we have never had a problem, not even braking."

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."

and here is the thoughts of Felipe Massa after this 2nd day in Jerez :
"During the two days I have been able to complete the program we had planned. Today, we tried four types of tires Pirelli brought here and we were able to collect lots of data. There is much work to go in understanding the behavior of tires and then to find the right settings on the car,"said Felipe Massa to the media today.
"The time? It's always better to be fit, although this does not mean much. From here until the first race, a lot will change, our car and that of others. We are trying to focus on our own work, without bothering about what our opponents. The important thing is to understand in what direction we should go and how to solve our problems. The first race in Bahrain is still very long. Michael [Schumacher ] fastest today? Well. it's not exactly a novelty for him to occupy this position, given everything he has earned in his career.
There is great interest this season for the new features introduced, such as adjustable rear wing and KERS, which is not really something new for Ferrari drivers . "We must try to understand the behavior of the car as much as possible, but clearly, as regards the rear wing, we do not know yet how it will work in a passing maneuver. So it is important to have a reliable car to take advantage of the available time."

And here are the impressions of Felipe Massa who finished the day in mind while having done the most laps (101) today:
"I am happy today. I could run continuously without wasting time precious. All those miles have helped me to better understand the car and especially the tires, an area where we could try different things compared to those we made in Valencia. The best time? It means nothing because we do not know what program was on the other drivers,"
Today, the Brazilian's car and those of most other teams, sporting a message of support for Robert Kubica
"I am glad that Robert gets better: it was nice that we all have a message for him on our cars and wish him all the best again."
note: the message written in Polish on the front wing of the Ferrari as well as on most cars today means "quick recovery"
