Abu Dhabi – After finishing the F2 2018 with Prema Racing, Sean Gelael still had other activities before the break of the season. Sean has just pbaded an F1 test with Toro Rosso.
Sean abandoned the first day of testing at the Yas Marina circuit on Tuesday (27/11/2018), which was a three-day series of F1 Trials in Abu Dhabi. The 22-year-old driver followed a 150-lap Pirelli tire development program with the Scuderia Toro Rosso team.
The test started at nine in the morning and Sean immediately conducted a qualifying simulation with hypersoft and ultra-pneumatic tires. In this morning's session, Sean clocked the fastest time at 1:40 435 on lap 24 with hypersoft tires.
Alongside Sean, there were also two Toro Rosso riders, namely Pierre Gasly and Brendon Hartley, who were awarded a local time of 12 to 13 hours. With the same tires and cars as both, Sean is clbadified as competitive. Because Gasly made 1 minute 40.671 seconds and Hartley 1 minute 41.137 seconds during the free practice session last Friday.
During the afternoon session in the evening, Sean did not improve his time, as he simulated a thorough race at each "race". Sean looked flawless as he did not make a mistake when many riders did, including Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen. The test was stopped.
"The way Sean drove was much better than some of the previous tests, the data shows that Sean has made some improvements in braking, and we're not just looking at the timeline, because this test is more focused on tire development, "said team director, Toro Rosso Franz Tost, about the appearance of Sean. .
Regarding the test results, Sean also claimed to be satisfied and hoping that it could be a contribution for him before the 2019 season. "Tired, but really exciting.Once again, Toro Rosso m & # 39; gave confidence for this test and felt a useful input from me for their preparation for the season. "2019," said Sean in a statement to detikSport.
The number of laps completed by Sean was a new record for a test by Toro Rosso. This test is important because Toro Rosso still uses Honda engines while they use two new drivers next season, Daniil Kvyat (Russia) and Alexander Albon (Thailand).
