Chassis programme
Jarno Trulli began a programme of set-up work with the R24, focusing primarily
on suspension settings. He reported improved performance over kerbs
compared to the R23. Franck Montagny conducted differential development with the
R23.

Tyre programme
Montagny completed performance evaluations of the Melbourne tyre options.
The candidates for selection will be tested over a race distance on the
R24 tomorrow.

Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering:

"We had a positive first day at Jerez, completing 64 laps with the new
car in spite of a small few niggles. Jarno reported improved performance
over the kerbs and was very positive in his feedback. Franck completed
useful tyre work for Melbourne, and tomorrow's programme for the R24 will
build upon his conclusions."
