Programme: With the same drivers as yesterday
continuing in the same cars, the test programme again focused
on testing the new standard ECU for 2008. Furthermore, several
mechanical parts and other components for 2008 were tested
and the team also evaluated some aero parts. Because of technical
problems with new parts Robert could not do as many laps as
he wished to, but the team is working hard to solve them for
tomorrow.
What comes next: On the third and last
day of the first winter test, Nick and Robert will continue
to gather more information, experience and data with the new
electronic control unit. Nick will swap from chassis F1.07-04
to F1.07-08 tomorrow.
