Overnight rain meant the third day of testing at Jerez started on a damp track, allowing the McLaren Mercedes team to continue the wet-tyre evaluation programme it had begun yesterday.
Heikki Kovalainen made progress understanding Bridgestone’s intermediate tyre before the drying track prompted a switch in focus for the afternoon.
The MP4-24 was subsequently fitted with a 2009 front and rear wing package - for the first time in dry conditions - and Kovalainen carried out a series of set-up evaluation runs until the end of the day.
Kovalainen switched back to the 2008 MP4-23 rear wing late in the day, posting the fourth fastest time on his penultimate lap of the day the team confirmed to ESPN Racing-Live.
Lewis Hamilton takes over for the final two days of running tomorrow.
