Luca Filippi fastest at Paul Ricard test

Luca Filippi has set the pace in both morning and afternoon sessions at Circuit Paul Ricard for ART Grand Prix Wednesday. The Italian set the fastest lap of the day in the afternoon session with a 1:12.853 narrowly missing out on beating Andi Zuber's best lap from yesterday despite today's running being disrupted by light, intermittent rain.

Second fastest this afternoon was the aforementioned Zuber who had switched over to Campos Grand Prix, while Sebastien Buemi put in a great afternoon to take third for Arden International. Fourth fastest was Andy Soucek for DPR with Vitaly Petrov fifth for Campos. Davide Valsecchi was the quickest rookie in sixth for ART Grand Prix, while Kamui Kobayashi who had impressed in the morning blotted his copy book with a spin into the barriers which took out his left front suspension and relegated him to the bottom of the timesheets.
