Final Tests

The big crunch test has come to town… Only a few days left now and most of the teams are in Barcelona making the final adjustments and testing the last few components before flying out to Australia. The day started off wet with Jenson Button fastest before slipping down the time sheet to a still impressive fourth by the afternoon. Jarno Trulli did the most laps at 120 with Kimi Raikkonen doing about 80. As the week pans out a keen eye will be on Jenson Button and team Brawn to see where the former Honda team are compared to the rest of the field. Note McLaren haven't been running their 2009 rear wing until yesterday and were subsequently bottom of the pile on Monday. Is there trouble afoot for the Woking team?
