Jerez Day 3: Davidson fastest in Jerez

Super Aguri driver Anthony Davidson was the fastest man on track today in Southern Spain. The Briton was running on low fuel though the team stated after today's work.

At Jerez testing continued with slightly cooler conditions to start than on Day 1. Davidson's testing programme comprised of continued analysis of the Bridgestone tyres with low fuel runs towards the end of the morning with some extended runs in the afternoon.

Renault continued testing with Giancarlo Fisichella and Heikki Kovalainen. Both were running the R27 chassis. Following on from his completion of a successful programme of reliability running yesterday, Fisichella began work on initial set-up changes with the new car today. He made good progress with his work, in spite of an on-track stoppage during the afternoon, and managed to begin working on understanding the car's reactions on the new Bridgestone Potenza tyres.

Heikki Kovalainen's day got off to a slow start after electrical gremlins limited his programme to just two installation laps until the afternoon. Once these problems had been resolved, he was able to complete two thirds of a race simulation, which will be completed tomorrow.

On Friday the team's will continue testing in Jerez. Takuma Sato will replace Anthony Davidson.
