Mustonen tops Euro Series test

Atte Mustonen topped the first day of this week's official Formula 3 Euro Series test at Valencia.

The Finnish driver is beginning his third season of F3, following two years with Raikkonen Robertson Racing in Britain before moving to Motopark Academy for 2009.

Mustonen's best time was one tenth of a second quicker than Manor Motorsport's F3 rookie Roberto Merhi.

ART Grand Prix's Jules Bianchi was third fastest, ahead of Carlin Motorsport's Brendon Hartley and Mucke Motorsport's Sam Bird.

Christian Vietoris has been confirmed at Mucke, completing the team's four-car line-up and the German was 11th quickest in the test.

The other additions to the field were Matteo Chinosi, who was 22nd fastest for Prema Powerteam and Jens Klingmann, who was 28th for Kolles & Heinz Union.
