The last of the 3 young driver test days, held at the Magny-Cours circuit in France, ended with Bianchi finishing on top.
Bianchi has had a clean sweep, after topping the time sheets on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bianchi drove in the Ferrari F2012 for the opening day, before switching to Force India.
The F1 Young Driver Test has been held at both Silverstone and Magny-Cours, with teams being split on the location. The remaining teams will test in Abu Dhabi.
For the third day running Bianchi was fastest, and even rain could not deter him. The morning session started in wet conditions, with the Intermediate tyres being the wisest choice. The afternoon session was dryer, so conditions were mixed.
Bianchi switched back over to Ferrari for the final day, as the Italian squad tested new front wing and aerodynamic tweaks. His best time of 1m16.985 was good enough to top the time sheets, after 136 laps of running.
Rodolfo Gonzalez took over the Force India and got 79 laps under his belt. His best time of 1m18.018 was a second off Bianchi's benchmark. The Venezuelan tried some pit procedures and race starts, as well as trying out the different slick compounds.
Brendan Hartley took over the Mercedes W03 from Sam Bird, ending the day slowest of the 3 runners. His best time of 1m18.671 was 1.6 seconds off the pace but the 87 laps of running gave the New Zealand driver good F1 experience.
