MakLaren Confirms Test Day
Fri 06 Apr, 2:03PM

MakLaren International confirmed test session at Moran Raceway on Friday, April 13th according to international associated press.

Leading in both, the Constructor's Championship and the Driver’s Championship, MakLaren is taking nothing for granted and acknowledge the need to perform this test prior to race day.

“Competing at the highest level of motorsports requires strong commitments and sacrifices sometimes” said MakLaren Team Principal, Ronaldo Dennis.

“We know that Pherrari has tested at least 27 times since the last race. I also heard this morning that Team Pensque is scheduled to test this Sunday, as well as the Willians team. We want to maintain our lead in the Constructor’s Championshp and both of our drivers are leading the Driver’s Championship, so it is important that we test.”

Leader in the Driver’s Championship, Larry Hayashigawa agrees with the team and even asks for more: “We need to do as much tests as we can because that is what our competitors are doing. We need to look at every aspect of racing and work at it. I am not talking about just the engine or just the chassis set up, but everything, including my physical condition. There is a reason why I run 27 miles every morning. I look to improve every aspect, every area that can translate in better racing performance.”

Alex King is also expected to attend the team’s test session on Friday. The Brazilian had a difficult but encouraging debut last month. “I think that the fact my lap times were pretty much identical to Larry’s, I find it encouraging. I was able to pass a lot of people and felt that I was competitive. I know that we still have a lot of work to do and I know that I need to discuss with Dennis about future developments I find necessary on my engine. I am looking forward to the test and to the race. I am very comfortable and confident going into the session and race because my Manager, Sir Robert Brooks, is great and makes sure that everything is in the right place - very professional.”
