Programme
A shortage of spares meant Lewis was only able to record 36 laps during the third day of this week�s Jerez test. While this hampered running, on-the-spot repairs were effected, and the relevant new components will be delivered overnight ahead of tomorrow�s running.
Despite the lack of mileage, the team was pleased with the progress made: Lewis and the engineers made some positive new steps with car set-up and understanding tyre performance, and also re-confirmed some concepts we�d previously tested.
The team conducted some running with the new-for-2011 drag reduction system � but will fully focus on the adjustable rear wing at next week�s Barcelona test.
Jenson concludes the four-day programme tomorrow, carrying on from where Lewis left off, focusing on confirmation of today�s set-up direction and, hopefully, some long-run tyre comparison work on the Pirellis.
Driver for day 4 - Jenson Button
Duration of test - 4 days (February 10-13)
