As the French test continues, Filipe keeps improving from day to day, when asked to coment he said, "I was pretty sure I would get to 1:13 but the car was not responding as I would like, besides with all the teams testing here I couldn't stop looking at all those beautifull machines."

Known for his humor, Robert started racing when he was very young, but always as a hobby. He was never in any team or competition therefore lacks racing experience.

"I like racing the clock, it's kind of racing against myself. Kim has warned me about the amount of tyres I've recked in this test, he usually tells me to take it easy and test the car, but as soon as I start seing the times come up, I forget everything and just go for the best time."

When we asked him if he could still get down to 1:13 he replied, "Well I have made a promise, and if I don't keep it people will start losing their interest on me."
