Jerez test: The final trackside verdict

On the final day of the Jerez Formula 1 test, Edd Straw returned to the trackside to get an in-depth look at the cars' behaviour as drivers really got to grips with them

Turn 8 at Jerez is an easy corner to overlook. From a distance or on a track map, it seems like a relatively insignificant part of the circuit. It's also far from the most significant corner in terms of lap time.

But what it does offer is a high-speed entry after which drivers must bleed off speed and drop a few gears as it tightens. That, combined with an excellent vantage point close to the inside of the turn, makes for interesting viewing.
