Programme: Despite the clear skies in the morning when running began, the track was wet from overnight rain and took a long time to dry out. As a result the programme of Bridgestone Potenza Wet Weather tyre testing continued. Pedro took to the track shortly before 14:00, joining Fernando in the on-going development schedule with two MP4-22s on track and both drivers spent some time on dry tyres. By 15:30 the rain had begun to fall again and this saw the team return to wet tyres for the remainder of the session.

Drivers for tomorrow: Fernando and Lewis Hamilton

Duration of test: Four days (Tuesday 30th January – Friday 2nd February)
