In the morning, Robert did some starts to optimise the respective settings, then continued with an aerodynamic validation programme. He then did a long-run to gain specific data on cooling. In the afternoon, the team did a tyre test programme for Michelin that revealed some interesting results. Overall it was a very productive test day.
What comes next:
Tomorrow, Nick Heidfeld will take over and do preparation work in view of the Imola Grand Prix, and he will continue with the aerodynamic validation programme.
