Michael on track at Valencia
Michael  could  only  set  the  sixth  quickest time of the day after  spinning  off  the  track  during  the  morning  session.
He  said  "It wasn't a driving error or a mechanical problem, We are not  sure  what  was  the cause, but perhaps it was a gust of wind. I've tried to stay alert but sometimes the wind changes  so  quickly  that  you lose all downforce and things like these happen."
Michael continues testing here tomorrow.
 
Weather: Air temp. 9/14 °C, track temp. 11/16 °C, clear skies and very windy
