Test Summary: MARTIN WHITMARSH
"Today has seen the completion of the 2006 test programme
with an encouraging session in Jerez this week. The primary
focus of the three pre-Christmas tests has been the learning
process between ourselves and Bridgestone. We have been able
to gather valuable data on how to get the best out of the
Bridgestone Potenzas and we are currently feeding this back
into the MP4-22 programme. The drivers have also been working
through various development programmes for the MP4-22, such
as suspension, aero and set-up work. With Lewis we have also
spent time on activities such as putting him out in traffic
so that he builds experience of running with other cars.”
