The final test session is the most important, so it was crucial for us to maximize it. However, we had to change our initial plans from the very beginning: my team-mate Nick Heidfeld, who was supposed to start track work, had a bad cold So the team adapted our schedule rapidly, I drove from the afternoon of first day, then the whole second and a half of third.
Thanks to guys from our base we receive serious aero update at Barcelona, and we need to check it at first. It's quite a 'boring' procedure - you have to keep constant (and not fast!) speed on straights. Such test gives a lot of useful data for engineers. The most recent update was a clear step forward,it gave us more downforce and were among leaders during all days at Catalunya circuit.
So, pre-season tests are finished and I feel quite happy after Barcelona session. The season will start soon - we had good preparation behind us. The team's motivation is high and the atmosphere in the team is positive. We have a lot of things to do before Melbourne, but it is always so in Formula One.
After test I will visit Robert Kubica at the hospital, and on Monday, March 21st, I will take my flight to Australia. Off-season is almost over and I'm looking forward to the races!
