Programme
A positive final day in Italy, and the chance for Oliver to enjoy a full day’s running behind the wheel of MP4-27.
The day was spent running through some detailed evaluative work with front wing and exhaust iterations – including some rake tests for improved data gathering.
The team was very pleased with Oliver’s work today and we collected a large array of data, which will be filtered back into the design team in order to make a number of longer-term improvements to our 2012 car.
