The ambient and track temperatures only reached a maximum of just over 15 degrees Celcius for a short period, and there was light drizzle during the afternoon, which ended running early.

Tomorrow�s test will mark the final session of 2005 for the team, with Juan Pablo and Pedro remaining at the wheel of the two interim MP4-20Bs.
