Programme Intermittently damp conditions restricted running during the day. The team opted to limit its mileage in the morning and towards the end of the day, when a mid-afternoon shower rendered the track too damp for meaningful running. Pedro concentrated on set-up work in an MP4-23A while Gary evaluated KERS boost levels in a 23K. Tomorrow’s programme sees Heikki return to the cockpit for the first time since Brazil, getting his first taste of KERS in the MP4-23K. Pedro continues aero work in a more heavily 2009-modified 23A.
Drivers for day two Heikki & Pedro
Duration of test Three days (December 9-11 2008)
