McLaren team was sandbagging after all

Heikki Kovalainen's McLaren topped the time charts during a quiet day of testing at Jerez on Wednesday.

With Renault and Brawn GP wrapping up their testing schedules on Tuesday, only McLaren and Williams remained out on the track for the fourth day of testing.

The Woking-based outfit showed considerably more speed than in previous days, with Kovalainen clocking a fastest time of 1:18.202 during his 79-lap run.

The Finn's time was the third-fastest of the week, with only Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg recording quicker times, proving beyond a doubt that the McLaren team has been sandbagging and indeed their new car is plenty quick.
