As predicted, rain interrupted play on the final day of the pre-Spanish Grand Prix, but at least Red Bull’s Mark Webber had the satisfaction of posting the fastest time of the day, which featured a dry run in the morning and another towards the end of the afternoon.

Because of the conditions, he never got to try the 2009-spec Bridgestone tyres. But when the track was dry, Mark was able to run some new aero components.

“Despite the weather shortening our programme today, this has been a good four day test,” commented Chief Test Engineer Ian Morgan. “We were able to acquire plenty of data from various new aerodynamic components and the results were positive. Some of these new developments will find their way onto the car for the Spanish Grand Prix.”

The test team will be back in action at the Paul Ricard circuit in the South of France, after the Turkish Grand Prix.
