McLaren makes good progress at Spain
F1 Test, Jerez, Circuit Permanente de Jerez
Overnight rain meant the day started on a damp track, allowing the team to continue the wet-tyre evaluation programme it had begun yesterday. Heikki Kovalainen made good progress understanding Bridgestone’s intermediate tyre before the drying track prompted a switch in focus for the afternoon.
MP4-24 was subsequently fitted with a 2009 front and rear wing package - for the first time in dry conditions - and Heikki carried out a series of set-up evaluation runs until the end of the day. For Wednesday and Thursday, Lewis takes over driving duties and continues the programme.
