The papaya team took advantage of the forced one-month break in the Formula 1 calendar to carry out its TPC testing program with its reserve driver. For the Piacenza native, it was his second experience at the wheel of a Formula 1 car, after the one already experienced in the March tests at Montmeló.
Fornaroli completed 68 laps on the iconic British track, covering a total of 393 kilometers. The session went smoothly and was useful work to accumulate experience and continue the growth path that, in the hopes of the 2004-born driver, could lead him to an F1 seat in 2027.
