Thats a differant problem, last season for the first half of the season Fernando gave his car setup data to Lewis, gear ratios, wing angles, camber and balance for instance. Then starting around silverstone he stopped giving him the data. It's up for interpretation as to how badly it effected him, but Silverstone for example wasn't a good race as weren't a few others.

Report from the day.

Sebastian Vettel brought Formula One action in 2007 to a close with the fastest time on the final day of testing at Jerez in Spain.

The Scuderia Toro Rosso driver completed 100 laps to set his best time of 1:18.213 with slick tyres and 2008 levels of downforce, to edge out BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica by two tenths of a second.

Although Nico Rosberg, also on slicks, ended up third quickest despite a spectacular engine blow-up in the afternoon, a lot of eyebrows were raised when Michael Schumacher set the fourth quickest time running slick tyres but with 2009 levels of downforce.

A lot of drivers have struggled to get speed out of the estimated 30 percent cut in downforce levels experienced this week but, despite a spin at Turn Two early in the day, Schumacher still managed to set a time less than one second off Vettel's best.
