Programme             A continuation of yesterday's programme, focusing on car set-up and
                      putting miles on MP4-24's KERS device. Fine weather meant Heikki was
                      able to rack up 110 laps throughout the day, including several longer runs
                      as both the team and driver became more comfortable with the car's 
                      balance. Without a high-downforce 2009-spec rear wing, the team opted to run
                      with a modified 2008 rear wing. The KERS programme ran smoothly throughout 
                      the day. 
Driver for day three: Lewis Hamilton 
Duration of test:     Four days (Feb 10-13)
