Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso used the team’s simulator to get a taste of the 2014 car, according to ESPNF1.
Alonso was busy with the opening of the Fernando Alonso Collection in Madrid, Spain following the season’s end in Brazil, but he returned to the Ferrari headquarters on Friday to get a heads up on the new procedures drivers are required to carry out in context to the new regulations.
“I’m pleased with the way the day on the simulator went,” Alonso told the official Ferrari website. “We managed to get through everything on the programme that we had in the pipeline. It was nice to be driving again, even if only in a virtual way.
“We went through a lot of ideas with the engineers. We are only at the start of a learning process which is moving forward all the time and it’s nice to be able to contribute to it.”
