Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton jumped into the MP4-24 on Thursday morning, picking up where teammate Heikki Kovalainen left off on Wednesday. The young Brit spent the morning concentrating on aero mapping and finding a good balance ahead of the afternoon’s long runs.
The day was extremely productive and saw the team continue its work with its KERS program.
"Today’s test gave me the first opportunity to drive MP4-24 in warm, dry conditions - and I’m very encouraged by what I felt,” he said at the end of the session. “The car feels strong, very similar to last year’s car, in fact. It doesn’t take long to get used to the new buttons in the cockpit [KERS & front-wing flaps] but the real test for everyone now is to understand the slick tyres ahead of the first race in Melbourne next month."
