Set-up work and KERS evaluation for McLaren

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 de la Rosa concentrated on set-up work in an MP4-23A while Gary Paffett 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.
