Briscoe testing for Toyota.
Ryan Briscoe today [Wednesday] tested for the Panasonic Toyota Racing team at Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.
Briscoe carried out work on a new engine specification, as well as a newly-built chassis and general set up work for April's Spanish Grand Prix.
Briscoe said: "I would have liked to have done a few more laps on my first real F1 test. There were a few glitches with the hydraulics and electronics, but we were testing some new things today for the next couple of races, so we expected a few teething problems."
