Two days down in Bahrain, two to go. Although many were expecting an array of updates on the cars for the second of only three test sessions this winter, only a few teams have so far sported additional components as focus slowly turns towards performance and set-up work. I do not know the ins and outs of set-up work but I would imagine the teams will be going through basic changes (anti-roll bars, ride heights, dampers, wing levels) and requesting feedback from the driver. A catalogue of data is recorded alongside this feedback so the engineers can begin to understand how the aerodynamic characteristics of the car they have built in the wind-tunnel/CFD interacts with the mechanical...
