Nico
Rosberg would take over from Kazuki Nakajima for the final two days of the
team's Jerez test. Nico would complete 122 laps of the 4.428km track (540km
in total) and set the eighth fastest time of the day with a 1m:20.309. Early
in the afternoon Nico would bring out the second red flag of the day, after
missing the chicane at Turn 11.Sato and Buemi quicker than Bourdais.
Again.
Looks like curtains for Bourdais.
