Calderón completes second day of Sauber-testing at Fiorano

Tatiana Calderón has completed her second day of testing for Sauber's F1 team, as the Colombian drove almost 600 kilometres at Fiorano throughout the weekend for the Swiss-Italian team.

Sauber didn't equip the C32 with all current specs; the car wasn't powered by the V6 hybrid but rather by a Ferrari V8 engine. Sunday morning consisted of qualifying runs and hot-laps, and the team used the afternoon for longer runs. Calderón impressed the people at Sauber during the weekend, according to reports.

“It was another interesting day of testing," the 25-year-old was quoted by GrandPrix247.

"We focused on qualifying simulations in the morning, and long runs in the afternoon.

"Overall, the past two days have been very beneficial to my development and I have gained valuable experience. The team did a great job in the preparation as well as the implementation of my programme and I felt comfortable in the car as well as on the track.

"I look forward to putting what I have learned to practice.”

Calderón has competed in Formula 3 for three years before moving on to GP3 in 2016. Since October this year, she's Sauber's test driver. 

She completed a total of 202 laps at Fiorano this weekend, driving 594 kilometres (roughly 369 miles) in the process.
