On Tuesday Giedo van der Garde completed a day of testing with the brand new Force India Formula 1 team. It was the first time both Giedo and the team completed a day of testing without the use of traction control and ABS.

Van der Garde said about his day: “It was a very good day really. Obviously the first few laps I had to get used to the car again as the last time I drove the F1 car was in July at Spa-Francorchamps. The use of traction control and ABS is now abanned so I also had to get used to that. It’s now really an impressive car again that you need to temper and I believe it is much more fun and challenging to race this car.”
In December Giedo will be back in action with the Force India Formula 1 team at Jerez de la Frontera.
