"It was good to get some running in wet conditions. We concentrated our efforts today on mechanical and aerodynamic set up in the wet. We also did some work on launch and traction control. Generally the three-day test has been positive. I have a good feeling for the TF102's set-up and personally I am feeling very comfortable in the car."
The FIA Formula 1 World Championship moves next week to Austria's A1 Ring. Panasonic Toyota Racing drivers Mika Salo and Allan McNish will be aiming once again to get both TF102s past the chequered flag.
