In the morning Kubica brought the F1-08 back to the pits
unexpectedly when the car developed an oil leak. After an precautionary
engine change he continued the test as scheduled. With Kubica
completing 124 laps (446 km) the team made good progress in setting up
the F1-08 for the next race.

track tyre testing and more setup work are on the schedule in
preparation for the Monaco Grand Prix.
