Objectives P1• Validation of new aero components• Fuel consumption checksObjectives P2• Set-up work• Tyre evaluations

Sam Michael, Technical Director“Today our programme involved working on mechanical set-up changes and testing revised aero parts for theFW32. We managed to evaluate most of the parts, but our schedule in session two was reduced by the wetweather. From the limited data we collected on the option tyre, it looks like it will be a stable tyre during the race.”

Rubens BarrichelloRuns P1: Run 1: New Prime (1 lap, install), Run 2: Used Prime (2 laps, baseline, red flag), Run 3: Used Prime (6laps, baseline), Run 4: Used Prime (5 laps, aero set-up), Run 5: Used Prime (6 laps, mechanical set-up)Runs P2: Run 1: New Prime (12 laps, tyre evaluations), Run 2: New Option (13 laps, tyre evaluations)“The rain came in P2, it affected everyone. The team did a really good job sending me out at the right times whenthe track was dry so we collected as much information as we could considering the conditions. There is still quitea lot of work to be done in order to get us through to Q3 tomorrow.”

Nico HulkenbergRuns P1: Run 1: New Prime (1 lap, install), Run 2: Used Prime (4 laps, baseline, red flag), Run 3: Used Prime (7laps, mechanical set-up, red flag), Run 4: Used Prime (13 laps, mechanical set-up)Runs P2: Run 1: New Option (11 laps, tyre evaluations), Run 2: New Intermediate (3 laps, wet tyre test), Run 3:New Prime (11 laps, tyre evaluations)“Albert Park is quite a cool track; I really enjoyed it out there. It’s very bumpy, but definitely good fun. Running inthe second session was interrupted by the weather so we didn’t get as much time as we wanted, but I feelfamiliar with the track now and comfortable with the car.”
