Jerez (Spain), Feb 19 (PTI) Force India test driver Paul di Resta clocked the seventh fastest time as, for the second day in row, inclement weather marred the Silverstone-based outfit''s testing at the Circuit de Jerez here. With heavy rain and high winds showing no signs of abating, Force India had to modify its testing schedule with di Resta getting another half day testing in the VJM03 before Vitantonio Liuzzi took over in the afternoon. di Resta managed to get 33 laps under his belt and his best of 1:30.344 put him seventh in the 12-driver field, two places ahead of Liuzzi who made 24 laps with the best of 1:30.666, which put him just ahead of Lewis Hamilton. The team made the most of the amended programme yesterday to run through further set-up evaluation, plus race preparation and fuel and hydraulic systems checks. With no major issues the drivers completed over 250km in total. "Unfortunately the weather was again very bad, but at this stage any running gives me more experience of the car and how the team works," di Resta later said. "I ran with the intermediate and wet tyres over the morning, which at least means I have got some solid experience of wet running and it won''t be such a novelty when I am faced with similar conditions in places such as Malaysia," he added.
