After a somewhat disappointing first day of testing, and his inability with math, Filipe showed that he can be a fast driver.

"I decided that it would be better to have someone else count the laps, so that I could concentrate on the driving.", and it looks like it worked.

We asked Filipe what his expectations were, for the french test,

"I'm hoping to improve my times every day, in order to reach the 1:13 mark. I see that there are two drivers that achieved that, and I was wondering, why not me!"

When we asked if he had the ability to take James place in the team, he replied,

"Each driver in KRB has its place, mine is doing tests for the team. I like my job and never thought about being 1st or 2nd driver."

Having said that, we think that Filipe could be a good driver if he was a bit more ambitious... and learned how to count.
