Toro RossoRain washed out much of the final day of this three day session today at Paul Ricard. With the action switching to what is referred to as the Canada-style track, after two days of Monaco simulation, Scuderia Toro Rosso had planned to split the day’s running between its two racers. Sebastian Vettel got on with driving in the morning, having his first run in the new STR3 in low downforce configuration. But after very few laps in the dry, the rain arrived and team-mate Sebastien Bourdais was forced to cool his heels.

Laurent Mekies, Chief Engineer: “Sebastian did a very good job of dealing with a new car in low downforce trim, without traction control on a wet track However, the rain really intensified and the track was actually closed until late afternoon. By this time, we had already decided the best option was to pack up and concentrate on our Monaco preparation, so Bourdais did not get to drive today.”
