Spyker F1's Malaysian test driver Fairuz Fauzy returned to the Formula 1 cockpit in Santa Pod, UK on Thursday to put in a further day's testing for the Silverstoꦰne-based outfit.

In warm, sunny conditions, the Ma🌠laysian assisted the team with its aero development programme, the first time he has been in the ♕F8-VII since the team's four-day test at Paul Ricard back in May.

"It was great to be back in the F1 car," said Fairuz. "We concentra𓄧ted on aero ﷽development and control systems and had a very productive day.

"Santa Pod is not really a complete track, but it's🤡 quite bumpy, fun and c🌱hallenging to drive. We didn't have any problems and it was nice to be able to get some more mileage in a Formula One car. I'm looking forward to getting some more time later in the season."

Thus far ౠthis season, the 24-year-old has also been competing in the World Series by Renault. So far Fairuz has enjoyed some promising results and in the last round of the series at the Hungaroring, secured his best result of the season so far; second place, just half a second behind the winner.
