Heikki Kovalainen has enjoyed two days of testing so far with his new team McLaren. In the South of Spain the Finn completed 101 laps on Thursday with a fastest time of 1.19.462 - over a second faster that his fastest time on Wednesday.

Speaking about his second day of testing Kovalainen said: "Thursday was my second day with the MP4-23 and I have now been able to complete over 447kms in total. We are all still spending time learning about the car and starting to get used to it.

"That we were on track for 204 laps in total today is definitely helping us to learn and progress with the car. For me in particular the car is very different from last year, and I have been focusing on that side of things. Settling into the team has been very easy, and I am looking forward to continuing our preparations for Melbourne next Tuesday."
