A revved-up Daniel Ricciardo says Toro Rosso are "running to plan and on schedule" for the first test of the winter at Jerez in three weeks' time.
Ricciardo has been at home in Australia over the winter break and says he has enjoyed taking advantage of the country's summer months and scorching temperatures in which to carry out his pre-season fitness training. "It's been a good preparation. The lead-up to Christmas was good, I got my break and felt very relaxed after that," he added. "The two weeks of training I've done after that have been very strong and we're ready to go and get going for the season."
