On the second day of the Young Driver Test in Abu Dhabi today, Sam Bird continued his work at the wheel of the MGP W02 car. The team focused on 2012 Pirelli tyre evaluations throughout the day with short runs in the morning and longer runs this afternoon.
Sam Bird: "We made some very good progress with the programme today and were able to achieve all of the goals that we intended. It was interesting to try out the new 2012 Pirelli tyres for the first time, and I enjoyed the experience. Overall it was a very good day for us and I'm looking forward to completing our programme of test items tomorrow."
Sam and Mercedes GP will complete the test tomorrow on the third and final day.
