Jerez (Spain), Feb 13 (PTI) Paul di Resta tested the VJM04 first time as the Force India Formula One team continued its preparations for the 2011 World Championship season.



Picking up from Adrian Sutil 's programme, Paul concentrated on tyre evaluation and establishing baseline set-ups for the remainder of the testing programme.

Paul completed 64 laps in total, bringing the VJM04 total mileage to almost 700km since its debut on Thursday.

"Today was really about me getting used to the new car, plus getting as much information about the new tyres and set-up options as possible. We’ve still got a bit of work to do, but today was about determining the right way to go," Paul said after the day's proceedings.

"We did find that there were a couple of issues with getting temperature in the brakes on some set-ups, and on the final run of the day I locked up into turn nine and went off into the gravel. Overall I think we can be fairly positive with the progress we've made over the past couple of days and have a good idea of where we can go tomorrow," he added. PTIPM
