Reigning World Champion Jenson Button drove the McLaren-Mercedes to first place in the fourth and final day of the test session held at Jerez, Spain.
Button set his best time during a series of short runs this morning, as the Formula 1 teams enjoyed a completely rain-free day for the first time all week.
Like most others, Button and McLaren set their best time early in the session before switching to longer stints and heavy fuel for most of the rest of the day.
Robert Kubica installed the Renault in second place ahead of Kamui Kobayashi (BMW-Sauber), Tonio Liuzzi (Force India) and Nico Rosberg (Mercedes GP).
