Regarding the 2 hours private test session that was held today at the new circuit of Austria, Jos had the following comments.

"I have to say that it was better than I expected, although the track is so slippery it is difficult to tell how it will be by the end of the weekend. I think the second and third corners are too slow and the circuit feels very short. It will be almost impossible to get past anyone on Sunday so that means that Saturday's qualifying will be vital. The car has been fine today and we have tried a few things with some success, although I just lost it at the end of the second session at the last right-hander and took a trip through the gravel."
