Scuderia Toro Rosso today completed a three day test - the first two days in the glamorous
setting of Monaco harbour and the last one, just outside the vibrant city of Montreal. Actually,
all three days were spent in the South of France at the Paul Ricard circuit, but for the first two
days the track layout chosen mirrored some of the conditions the teams will meet in Monaco
and on the last day, another layout replicated the Canadian circuit.

Scott and Tonio therefore ran in maximum downforce configuration as they evaluated tyres for
the  next  round  of  the  championship  in  Monaco,  while  all  three  drivers  tested  new  aero
components.  Today,  Jani,  running  much  lower  downforce  worked  on  Canada  tyre  choice.
"The same chassis and engine was used for all three days and it was good to get so much
distance under our belt," said Chief Engineer, Laurent Mekies. "It was encouraging that, after
a couple of reliability problems in Spain, the car ran trouble-free here in what was virtually a
two race distance simulation."
