ERJ staff report (DS)

Le Castellet, France -- Pirelli's Formula One test campaign continued this week at the Le Castellet circuit in the south of France, again with Nick Heidfeld at the wheel of the Toyota TF109 fitted with Pirelli's latest Formula One tyres.

Temperatures in the south of France remained warm throughout both test days, with an average ambient temperature of 24 degrees Centigrade and average track temperature of 28 degrees Centigrade.

“We're very happy with the progress we've made so far, which actually puts us slightly ahead of where we expected to be at this point in time,” pointed out Paul Hembery, Pirelli's director of motorsport.
