The primary goal for the afternoon was to work on long runs. However, the programme was interrupted by a mechanical failure on chassis R27-04. The conclusions from the day s running were positive nevertheless, and the team s work this week will provide a solid baseline for the first day of practice in Malaysia, a week today.
Chief Test Engineer Christian Silk: “We completed our programme on an encouraging note after a good day s work. We worked hard throughout the week, and we seem to be moving in the right direction. We made a number of changes overnight, and they seemed to work well out on track today.
There is still a lot of progress to be made, but we are moving in the right direction, and I think we got the maximum from our week s running in the circumstances. Heikki seems comfortable at this track, he learned it quickly and is in good shape going into next week s Grand Prix. That was another important objective for this session, that we have achieved successfully. ”
