Toprak was very pleased with his two half days at Portimao. Finger isnt impacting on the bike but is definitely a factor for him. He was fast and consistent when on track and gave the team a massive boast by being back and testing the new frame

Honda test programme is bigger again this year. Ive been told they have the budget for two days on track each month & a lot of engine dyno time allocated to them too. They'll have four wildcards (Phillip Island with Nagashima while Bridewell looks set to do Assen and Donington & one other)

#OnThisDay in ’92, at Firebird Raceway near Phoenix, Senna tested a Penske #IndyCar in secret, encouraged by then current Penske ace Fittipaldi. Ayrton was very quick - 0.5sec faster than Emmo - but he decided to continue in #F1 & he never drove an IndyCar again.
