flags. Despite the interruptions, in the morning session Nick
completed his scheduled programme for testing mechanical set-ups.
Robert's programme was further hampered by a hydraulic leak
in the morning. In the afternoon the team was able to complete
its scheduled programme and concentrated on optimizing mechanical
set-up on both cars and carried out some tyre comparisons.
What comes next:
Tomorrow will be the final day of pre-season testing for all
F1 teams. Nick and Robert will be sharing driving duties again
and doing final systems checks for the forthcoming season's
opener in Melbourne. They will also carry out the final confirmation
of the cooling system as the highest ambient temperature of
the entire pre-season testing is expected in Bahrain tomorrow.
