Programme

Gary Paffett conducted Wednesday’s programme, primarily focusing on providing feedback, analysis and evaluation for Pirelli as they continue to refine their 2012 tyre programme. The day was spent running different casings and compounds – with some positive results.

The day’s background running also included putting mileage on several development parts intended for next year’s MP4-27A chassis, as well as gathering data for correlation purposes.

Despite an early stop in the day due to a fuel-pressure issues, this was another positive day.

Oliver Turvey will return to the cockpit tomorrow to conclude the three days’ running.
