Fernando Alonso Sets Fastest Time in Final Day of Testing at Jerez

News of Ferrari having problems might not have totally true given that Fernando Alonso set the fastest time at Jerez testing today, despite the time being about 1.5 seconds off Nico Rosberg's time yesterday.

Ferrari had claimed that it was having problems figuring out a setup for its new pull-rod front suspension, but it seems the team might finally have found something that works. Romain Grosjean in the Lotus is the only driver to set a faster time in a 2012-spec car.

Today is the final day of testing at Jerez, but there will be more opportunities for testing before the Australian Grand Prix.
