Just over a week after launching its 2007 contender at Valencia, McLaren has returned to the Spanish circuit to conduct a three day private test.
The Woking outfit had three drivers on duty today, Lewis Hamilton running all day while Fernando Alonso drove in the morning before being replaced by Pedro de la Rosa.
Unlike Ferrari, which suffered rain and hail, conditions at Valencia, though cool and windy, were fairly good, with clear skies with some scattered cloud.
Alonso and Hamilton will be on duty tomorrow.
