Programme both drivers: Due to the bad weather and track conditions it was not possible to carry out the programme as scheduled. Therefore, the team concentrated on start practices and system checks. To take advantage of the rainy weather conditions both pilots ran wet and intermediate tyre comparisons for Michelin.

What comes next:
According to the weather forecast good weather and track conditions are expected for tomorrow, which will enable the team to evaluate Michelin dry tyres. It will also focus on the assessment of aerodynamic parts. Cooling system tests are also scheduled.
