Losing track time in the final group testDriver error almost certainly caused Heikki Kovalainen's huge shunt at Bahrain on Tuesday morning.
An eyewitness report from turn seven at the Sakhir circuit said the Finn's R27 spun out of control on its 20th lap of the over
the kerbs under power.
The R27's destroyed right hand side meant that Kovalainen did not return to action on Tuesday, and it emerges that the repairs might not be completed until lunchtime or even later when the test resumes on Wednesday.
It is even possible that he will sit out Wednesday altogether, leading Kovalainen to describe the delay as 'frustrating'.
"But the focus now is on working with the team to get the car ready as soon as possible. Once it is, I will be 100 percent concentrated on completing the rest of our work."
