"The amount that we've learned in the car, we've exercised the envelope quite nicely," said Harman."I don't think we've exercised it fully just yet. "I'm sure you've some of the footage, we've run quite stiff, and that works in some conditions. We need to exercise that. On this track it doesn't tend towards being very, very stiff. Although there are some circuits during the season where we're going to optimise and capitalise on that, hence the test.
