Well, now we know.
Katherine did 15 laps in the two 20-minute sessions this morning, which allowed teams to shake down their second cars.
She was running-in a new engine in the first session, and in the second she was bedding brakes, and there was a red flag, so no-one should expect too much.
In fact, she was 23rd and 22nd respectively in the two sessions, and her best time was 3.687secs slower than the dominant French team.
If anyone is surprised or disappointed by that, they shouldn't be. It's about what I would expect in all the circumstances. It won't have helped Team GBR in developing the car, but it may give them a few news stories, which I still think was the one and only plan.
