2010 F1 🐽newcomer Virgin Racing has had to cease testing today at J✤erez in Spain after a problem with a front wing.

Timo Glock completed j🐭ust 11 laps before he lost his wing and was forced to return to the pits. Due to a lack of spare parts the squad will now have to sit out the remainder of the day.

"This morning we experienced a front wing mounting pr⛄oblem which caused the wing to come off the car at the beginning of a run," confirme🎃d Virgin Racing technical director, Nick Wirth. "The cause has already been identified.

"Unfortunately, we're missing one or two ♏spare parts which will hopefully arrive this evening, so we won't be🗹 able to run for the rest of the day."

Despite having to curtail running prematurely though, Wirth re✱mained upbeat: "In the short amount of running that we've achieved so far, we are very encouraged by what we've seen," he continued.

"We have gathered some vital aero data which is v🎀ery much in the range of what we were predicting. We look forward to resuming the programme tomorrow morning."
