Jerez testing - Day two (February 2010) - Hoping for better weather as F1's pre-season testing continues
Published by Mr. C
Thursday sees the second day of testing in Jerez get underway. Teams, drivers and fans alike will almost certainly be hoping for better weather than day one produced. There's very little change on the driver front to look out for, with only Michael Schumacher and Robert Kubica the new faces in the crowd.
Yesterday saw the surprise introduction of the Williams live timing system. First day gremlins saw the site struggle to keep up with demand, but when it works it is rather fantastic. Williams weren't the only ones experiencing first days blues either, Virgin Racing managed just 5 laps on their F1 testing debut. Fingers crossed for a better run today.
Petrov had been scheduled to drive the Renault today, but good weather prompted the team to run the more experienced Kubica instead.
On track action begins at 9am CET (8am GMT).
