Loris Baz left the three-day Phillip Island test satisfied, despite having a tough few days on track.

Finding some improvements and getting down to lap in the 1:29 bracket on a jampacked timesheet, Baz now feels he and the team have a clear direction – something to work on further when action continues at Losail Internationl Circuit in Qatar for the final pre-season test.

"It has been a difficult three days but today we found something. We have improved little by little to lap in the 29s and we are not so far, but I am happy because we have found the way, and it has not been easy." Said the Frenchman.

"Overall I leave Phillip Island satisfied, because we tried a lot of things and the team did a great job. My crew chief, Paolo did the right things and in the end of the day we leave with a clear direction."

"I think that I could go even faster with a new tyre at the end, so I’m happy, much more than I was until today at lunch time. He concluded
