As we have done quite a bit of running in the wet already, we decided it was not really worth going out. Although we did do a couple of laps at the end of the day, just to check some new software. |
David had a fresh engine, but it was not to the latest specification that we plan to run in Bahrain. Christian's gearbox was quite high mileage, but we would not have expected it to fail when it did. Because he had a Bahrain-spec engine, it was important to put as many miles on it as possible, but both guys lost a lot of track time, especially David, who only returned to the track with half an hour remaining. |
We therefore lost some time in the afternoon, fitting a new engine, but after that we had a productive time. The car's actual pace seems pretty good, as David put in some quick laps late in the day, even though by then it was very windy. |
