Tonio made his Valencia Urban Circuit debut today in the free practice sessions of the European Grand Prix weekend. The green, dusty track did not make conditions ideal however, he was able to complete 19 laps in the first session and 33 laps in the second session to familiarise himself with the demands of the 5.419km street track.

Besides tyre comparisons, further data accumulation on the F-duct was on the menu as well; Tonio completed back to back tests between the F-duct and the standard engine cover in both sessions.
