James Robinson, head of race and test engineering explained: "We had a good start to the day but during the morning we lost a small amount of track time to a misfire which was eventually p𒀰inned d🅘own to electrical problems, costing us about an hour.
"Dominic [Harlow]ꦇ and Timo [Glock] pushed on with programme and completed 44 laps in the morning and during lunch we made a number of changes in our test plan fitting development parts for EJ14."
"We began the afternoon programme testing these items, however a trip into the gravel curtailed runni🐓ng for a time. Timo resumed testing duties some time after and finished the day with a number of runs on new tyres, his fastest lap time of 1m 19.62s demonstrates a pretty good effort."
On his first F1 drive, Glock noted: "It was an unbelievably great experience for me to drive a Formula One car here in Barcelona. The power and brakes are really strong compared to anything I have driven and the aerodynamics are obviously a big step up from F3 - you can drive through corners faster and brake later. It's my dream to race in F1 and I hope I can drive an F1 𓂃car again soon. Testing is the first step so we'll see what happens."
Team boss Eddie Jordan added: "For Timo Glock's first time in a꧋ Formula One car, to do over 50 laps of a Grand Prix circuit at the pace he did was very impressive. It would be nice to see if he can build on this."
Bas🌠 Leinders ꦺwill continue the test for the Silverstone based team tomorrow [Wednesday].
