Day Two for the Young Drivers in Jerez
By Phil Huff
December 4 2009
The second day of Young Driver testing started on tuesday in the cold of Jerez, but temperatures rose throughout the day, with a mid-day rain shower punctuating proceedings.

Mike Conway continuing his driving duties in the Brawn-Mercedes BGP 001 car. Mike worked through a number of set-up changes with the car before a short rain shower briefly interrupted the track action. He continued his programme after lunch for a further three runs to complete 83 laps in total today.

Due to some light drizzle the afternoon's programme had to be adapted several times, but the track conditions never allowed intermediates or wet tyres to be run as it remained far too dry.

Marcus Ericsson took over the BGP 001 to conclude the team’s programme for the remainder of the afternoon session. Marcus completed 37 laps as he continued his familiarisation programme with the car.
