Paffett looking back at F1 test

Gary Paffett joined McLaren this season to become the team's official test driver together with Pedro de la Rosa. The Briton hasn't been that active with the MP4-21 as much as he probably wished for but at Barcelona he could cover a number of miles again for McLaren.

Looking back at his day of testing earlier this week Paffett commented: "This was only my second time testing in the MP4-21 and it was a shame that the track was wet for most of the morning. As I was only running for one day I was focused on a separate programme, but it is good to get more experience with the race car and despite the weather we managed to get some good data for the team."
