 Formula One report - Day 1 of the pre-season group test at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit.
 Circuit: Jerez de la Frontera
Length: 4.4 km
Driver Day 1: Vitaly Petrov
Chassis: R30 02
Total Laps: 27
Fastest Lap: 1:25.440
Summary of the day: A dry start to the day lasted for just over half an hour when heavy rain showers hit the circuit.
The track remained damp throughout the day and Vitaly completed some wet weather running in the afternoon.
Vitaly Petrov:
“The weather was really poor today with lots of rain so we did limited running. I usually enjoy driving in the wet but it was annoying to loose so my much track time to the weather. Hopefully we will have better conditions later in the week.”
Alan Permane, Chief Engineer:
“The bad weather meant it was a frustrating day for us as we only managed to complete one dry run this morning on scrubbed tyres. We then spent some time doing systems checks in the garage and discovered a small problem with the brake system, which we managed to fix by the end of the day. Looking ahead to tomorrow, Robert [Kubica] will be in the car and fortunately the weather forecast looks a lot better.”
