Programme
Final day of pre-season testing. Lewis was back in the car today,
continuing the understanding, evaluation and development of new
components that Jenson had started yesterday.
With a more innate
understanding of the new package, Lewis's engineers were able to
spend the morning fine-tuning MP4-25's set-up while also carrying out
a number of pitstop practices.
At the end of the
morning, the team undertook several simulated qualifying runs,
thrilling the crowds by going head to head with Felipe Massa and
Michael Schumacher, who were also carrying out similar work.
For the final
afternoon, the team ran another race simulation, carrying out three
22-lap stints. At the end of the day, Lewis declared himself happy
and comfortable with the new car and told his engineers that he's now
looking forward to Bahrain.
The whole team
keenly shares his sentiments&ldots;
