Robert Wickens was back in Formula One action on Tuesday at Abu Dhabis Yas Marina Circuit as the Canadian kicked off the opening day of the Young Driver Test driving the Lotus Renault GP R31. http://www.chelseateamshop.com/Womens-Adidas-Chelsea-FC-9-Fernando-Torres-Replica-Yellow-Away-Short-Shirt-14-15-England-Futbol-Club-Soccer-Jersey-97.html .  The 22-year-old, who made his Formula One weekend debut in last Friday mornings free practice session, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with Marussia Virgin Racing, ended Tuesdays outing third fastest.  With a best lap of 1m42.217s, he record 78 laps in total during his first full day of testing.  He concluded his afternoon session with a long 20-lap run on the soft Pirelli tires, setting consistent lap times and proving hes physically prepared for Formula One. Wickens front-running pace was showcased as all twelve competing Formula One teams took advantage of the additional track time for test and development work as part of the three-day Young Driver Test.  Roberts opportunity to drive the R31, normally piloted by LRGP team regulars, Vitaly Petrov and Bruno Senna, came courtesy of Renault Sport as his prize for winning the 2011 Formula Renault 3.5 Series this season. "Im extremely pleased with todays test session," reflected Wickens.  "It was a constructive day and we worked well going through the program that the team had set out.  I have to say the track was a lot greener than expected this morning considering we just had the Grand Prix on Sunday, the track cleaners were obviously busy leading up to today.  Having run in Fridays practice session, I was automatically dialed into the track in an F1 car though, which was an advantage.  "The R31 was as I expected, it handled well and I knew wed be setting competitive lap times.  Id targeted a top-three finish for the day and although Id have liked to have cracked the 1m41s mark, Im still satisfied with my performance.  You never know what everyone else is working on during test days but I just kept my head down and enjoyed the experience of working through the day with Lotus Renault GP and experiencing the car on the different sets of Pirellis.  Id like to thank Renault Sport for the opportunity and a big thanks to everyone at Lotus Renault GP for a great day in Abu Dhabi." The Toronto-born racer, a reserve driver for Marussia Virgin Racing this season, will be back behind the wheel of the teams MVR-02 on Thursday as he joins them on the final day of the Young Driver Test. John Terry Shirts . – Mats Sundin was the captain. Diego Costa Yellow Jersey .
