The McLaren driver had a top time of one minute 19.371 seconds from 73 laps at the 4.428-kilometre Circuito de Jerez. It was the 22-year-old Briton’s first drive since finishing second in his rookie F1 season. Canadian Press.com
Testing continued at Jerez on December 5th and Lewis Hamilton made his mark on his return to the McLaren cockpit with the best time of the 20 drivers present, 1:19.371. His day focused on aerodynamic tests with no driver aids while team test driver Pedro de la Rosa, fifth fastest, continued with a chassis programme and 2009 spec slick tyres.

The British driver set the quickest time of the 20 drivers in action, but not before needing his McLaren to be recovered from a gravel trap following a spin.
Tuesday’s quickest runner Nick Heidfeld, meanwhile, languished at the bottom of the times. Duemotori.com
