McLaren continues intensive test programme
McLaren continued its intensive test programme at Sepang today, in a session that was affected by rain showers. Overnight rain lead to wet track conditions at the start of running. Shortly after 10am, dry Bridgestone Potenza tyres were fitted to Lewis’s MP4-22 and the team set about pushing forward with the test plan of tyre evaluation and general development of the package. Another downpour hit the track late afternoon and, having achieved enough wet running during the morning, Lewis remained in the garage.
As a result of the wet conditions, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes will be extending the test session to tomorrow, with Lewis remaining at the wheel of the MP4-22.
