Nico Rosberg confessed himself happy with his day's work after completing 69 laps in his new Mercedes GP W02.
The German was left a frustrated man on Tuesday after experiencing little track time due to a hydraulics problem but encountered fewer problems on Wednesday.
"It was an interesting day and important that we completed a lot of laps," said Rosberg. "We ran with part of the KERS system for the first time so much of the focus was on learning how to handle the system. It is challenging but just a matter of getting used to the buttons and how the car feels under braking out on track.
"Today's running confirmed my initial good feelings about the car. We had a few issues which is normal with a new car but fixed them quickly."
Team boss Ross Brawn echoed his driver's sentiments on what he described as a 'positive day' for the team.
"Today was important for us to get some good mileage on the car and I'm pleased with what we have been able to achieve," said Brawn. "It has been a learning experience for us all to use KERS for the first time and inevitably we faced some teething problems with the system which should be ironed out quickly enough with further testing. A more positive day in terms of reliability and we completed a number of the key system checks with the new car."
