Programme: The final day of the test had mixed weather conditions, with a dry track in the morning and rain coming at midday. Robert Kubica was driving for the second day and he continued the work from Wednesday, which was the set-up for the race.

In the afternoon the team was able to confirm the cars wet set-up, and also work on settings and tyres for these conditions. Due to the weather, the team stopped about an hour and a half earlier than the planned 6pm, but despite this were happy with the work completed.
