The morning kicked off with a continuation of yesterdays aero calibration work, carried out across a number of shorter runs. Attention then turned towards acclimatising Sergio to his new office, running through a prescribed programme of mechanical and aerodynamic adjustments with MP4-28 to give him a greater understanding of the inherent feel of the car and the way it reacts to set-up changes. The acclimatisation session continued throughout the afternoon, concluding in a number of longer runs. Sergio racked up 81 laps a positive start to his Vodafone McLaren Mercedes career.
