Jaguar decided to return to base in the UK to continue preparations for the San Marino Grand Prix next weekend. Klien completed 25 laps and set a best time of 1:09.567 before the incident.
Teammate Mark Webber started the aerodynamics and tyre test the previous day and had twice ground to a halt on track. Mechanics managed to get him back out both times and the Australian completed 118 laps and was seventh fastest of the day.
Klien is still learning some of the F1 circuits but Imola, on April 25th, is one he is familiar with. "I am really looking forward to the next race in Imola as this is one of my favourite tracks," he said. "It's going to be good to be racing at a circuit where I have some experience."
