the R23, Montagny continued his programme from yesterday, making longer
runs on different tyre compounds.

A precautionary gearbox change was conducted on the R24 during the day.
Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering:
"We had a satisfying final day of testing, which rounds off a very positive week's work. We are achieving all our reliability targets with the R24 and while we can always look to make progress in terms of performance, we are nonetheless satisfied with the current situation. Franck put in plenty of miles with the R23, and is continuing to find useful developments with the old car."
