The Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team moved it’s winter testing programme up to Valencia this week, where a productive day was spent accumulating more miles on the MP4-23. Work continued on the ongoing development of the 2008 challenger, with particular focus on bringing the gearboxes up to mileage, to be in line with the new rules that gearboxes are to last for four races in 2008.
