Vergne completes first simulator day at Ferrari

By on

Jean-Eric Vergne has now started work at Ferrari. The 24 year old Frenchman spent the day at the Maranello facility, meeting engineers and management, as well as getting to grips with his new “office,” the F1 simulator.

“The first day as a Ferrari man is really something special,” said Jean-Eric Vergne. “But already last night, I took a short trip around Maranello and I realised that this is a city that lives and breathes Ferrari. This year, I will be doing a lot of work in the simulator and this first introduction to it was very useful. I know Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen well and I can’t wait to work with them.”

The Frenchman, ousted from his Toro Rosso race seat, joined Ferrari and recently said he looks forward to getting a race chance with Ferrari in the future, saying "there is a big opportunity for me at Ferrari in 2016".
