Hamilton leads final day of testing - Lewis puts McLaren on top, whilst Massa gets on with Fernando
Published by Christine
Welcome to F1Minute for the 28th February 2010 - a special edition to cover the fourth and final day of pre-season testing.
Lewis Hamilton was fastest on the last day in Barcelona, and he completed the most number of laps with 134. He was only a couple of hundredths faster than Webber in second though, and Massa and Sutil weren’t that far behind either. Further down the order, Kubica finished up tenth for Renault, whilst Kovalainen pipped di Grassi to finish Lotus ahead of Virgin by just under a second. Lotus had a good morning but had gearbox troubles in the afternoon, whilst Virgin were still struggling with hydraulic problems - but as mentioned previously, they’re hoping their pre-Bahrain upgrade will sort that out.
Massa has been talking about Ferrari’s progress so far and said: “I’m satisfied with the whole of testing, not just Barcelona. We did what we wanted to do, but it looks like it will be a very tough and competitive championship.” He also added: “I’m 100% sure that I will never have a problem with Fernando.” Just wanted to highlight that, in case it comes back to haunt him.
That’s all for now, I’ll be back tomorrow with your regular F1Minute.
