Jerez testing: Davidson nips Fisichella

Anthony Davidson surprised a lot of people today by driving his Super Aguri to fast time of the day in testing at the Jerez circuit. He finished ahead of Renault's Giancarlo Fisichella.

"We had another good day with the R27 as we started looking at some set-up changes, and understanding the handling," said Fisichella. "We made improvements through the day, and the progress confirmed the potential I could feel in the package during our reliability work yesterday.

"I think we have had a very encouraging week so far, although there are still some problems to fix, like with any new car. But that is what winter testing is all about: every problem we find here, is one that we don't have to worry about in Melbourne in two months' time."

On Friday the team's will continue testing in Jerez. Takuma Sato will replace Anthony Davidson.
