Programme:
While the team did not have a problem free day, the results
of the test were positive. Robert worked on dampers while
Nick on set-up in the morning and then aero during the rest
of the day. The air and track temperatures above were for
when the team were on the track, but there was a point when
neither car was running when the temperatures went up several
degrees.
What comes next:
Nick stays for his second day, while Robert leaves and Sebastian
Vettel will take over for the final day. The exact programme
for each car will not be decided until the team starts running,
as there is a planned engine change on Sebastian's car during
the lunch break. However, the team will work on aero, cooling,
systems checks and also aim to do longer runs.
