First Formula 1 test at the impressive new Autodromo
Internacional do Algarve facility in Portugal. Gary spent the majority of
the day in the KERS-equipped 23K putting further mileage on the
electrical unit and 2009-spec front wing. He also carried out some brief
running in the 23A in a bid to more accurately assess the set-up required
for this new circuit. Pedro de la Rosa takes over for the remaining two
days of this single-car test.
Duration of test Three days (December 15-17 2008)
