Programme First Formula 1 test at the impressive new Autodromo Internacional do Algarve facility in Portugal. Gary spent the majority of the day in the KERS-equipped 23K putting further mileage on the electrical unit and 2009-spec front wing. He also carried out some brief running in the 23A in a bid to more accurately assess the set-up required for this new circuit. Pedro de la Rosa takes over for the remaining two days of this single-car test.
