RENAULT
Renault got some useful set-up work done with Robert Kubica, which has taken us in a good direction. The team also spent some time doing procedural work and practice starts with a heavy car. Kubica also ran a couple of different dry tire compounds to compare them, which was useful.

Adrian Sutil looked at weight distribution and car set-up during the session. Dry running today has allowed the team to learn some interesting things about the car and the 2010 tires.

The BMW-Sauber team lost a lot of time with a fuel system problem.

TORO ROSSO

JaimeAlguersuari was able to complete a high mileage, running just one tyre compound throughout. On the STR5 development programme was a brake system evaluation, as well as an assessment of a few aero components.

LOTUS
It was Lotus first dry running in. The team had a small problem this morning with a clutch sensor but as we wanted to wait until conditions had dried up that suited them well.
