The first test of the new season for British American Racing has finished in Barcelona, with Anthony Davidson ending up in fourth place, splitting the two Toyota drivers.
A problem towards the end of the morning session delayed matters slightly, but testing of software resumed in the afternoon.
Commenting on the test, Davidson said "It feels good to be back in the car after the autumn break, although I know Barcelona like the back of my hand now so it doesn't really feel as though I've been away for long. We've completed quite a lot of laps over the last three days and have made good progress with our programme."
BAR will attend next weeks multi-team test at Barcelona, with Davidson driving again on 3 and 4 December, with Jacques Villeneuve taking over on 5 December.
