Fernandes encouraged by early signs in Jerez
Caterham owner Tony Fernandes believes the good times are just around the corner for his improving team. After two years building up a marque formerly known as Lotus, the last few days have been some of the most encouraging Fernandes has enjoyed in Formula One. Caterham no longer appears a rookie team, and the pace of their new car suggests a points breakthrough could be in the offing following two barren seasons. With the KERS power-boost system installed on the car for the first time on Wednesday, Heikki Kovalainen completed 139 trouble-free laps - the equivalent of two race distances around the Circuito de Jerez. Reserve driver Giedo van der Garde added another 74 on Thursday and Jarno Trulli completed 119 on his first day in the car on Friday. The veteran Italian finished slowest of the nine cars on show, over three seconds down on Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, but Fernandes was nevertheless ecstatic. "(The number of laps completed) is something we never came close to last season. For that reason we really have arrived as a Formula One team, and to accomplish it in two years is something I'm extremely proud of," said Fernandes."The start we have made in testing has already far exceeded my expectations." - http://www1.skysports.com/
