Programme:
Timo Glock started the first of his two days of testing. He
was able to complete the tyre testing in the morning as the
rain did not come until the afternoon. Other work on the programme
included suspension development and aero work. Unfortunately
the schedule was disrupted by the afternoon showers, so the
team was not able to complete all the work it had planned.
Despite this the results were positive and the team was happy.
What comes next:
The team is hoping that Timo will be able to finish the race
preparation for the Grand Prix at Silverstone on the 8th July,
but this will be weather permitting as the forecast is not
good.
