April 28, 2014, Monday

SIMONA de Silvestro moved a step closer to achieving her dream of competing in Formula One next year after a first day of in-car testing with Sauber. The Swiss driver completed 112 laps in a two-year-old Sauber C31 at Ferrari’s Fiorano Circuit in northern Italy. “The G-forces are significantly higher compared to what I was used to in IndyCar,” De Silvestro said. “Overall, I’m happy with my first day in a Formula One car. And with every outing I learned more about the behavior of the car. I can feel now where there is more potential and how I can use it.”
