Virgin Racing endure torrid testing session
The front wing of the new VR-01 failed while Timo Glock was putting the car through its paces and, with no replacement to hand, the team have been forced to withdraw from the rest of today's running.
"This morning we experienced a front wing mounting problem which caused the wing to come off the car at the beginning of a run," Virgin's technical director Nick Wirth said in quotes reported on www.formula1.com.
