Juan Pablo Montoya was joined at the Silverstone test today
by team-mate Kimi Raikkonen to continue the testing programme
for the week with the two Team McLaren Mercedes MP4-21s.
With improved weather from yesterday, the track conditions
allowed the team to focus on the Michelin tyre selection,
with today's programme based on the Silverstone race. This
resulted in both Juan Pablo and Kimi completing short runs
during the day as different compounds and set-ups were evaluated.
In his second day of running at the home of the British Grand
Prix, Juan Pablo covered 72 laps equating to just over 370km
as he put in the fourth quickest time of the day, a 1m19.395.
Kimi ended the day in fifth on the timesheets, as he completed
190km over the course of 37 laps. An hydraulic issue with
his MP4-21 saw Kimi stop running shortly before the end of
the day.
Tomorrow sees the final day of the test, with both Kimi and
Juan Pablo continuing driving duties.
