After the soggy
conditions last week in Jerez, it was bright and sunny today in
Barcelona. The teams programme included a race weekend
simulation within one day, as they ran through procedures for P3,
qualifying and a race.
Ian Morgan, Head
of Race Engineering said, Today was always planned as a race
weekend simulation day, so we did some testing along with P3 and
qualifying in the morning and a race simulation in the afternoon.
Everything went very well up until halfway through the race
simulation, when something in the data made us decide to stop the car
on track. It was nothing major though and we got the car repaired and
back out until the end of the session. It went well today, apart from
that small reliability issue.
Mark Webber said:
We had a pretty good day of testing. We did some simulations
and performance items in the morning and a race simulation in the
afternoon. We had a precautionary stop in the middle of the race
simulation because of a gearbox oil alarm, but the guys got the car
turned around pretty quickly and we finished the session, so it
wasnt too bad.
Sebastian Vettel
will be driving for the next two days of this final four-day test,
with Mark taking over again on Sunday. |
