de la Rosa ran today both with and without, and thinks there is a minor improvement. It sounds, though, like there is a small chance they won't use it.

The team ran the MP4-22 with and without the new design to evaluate its effectiveness, as Pedro de la Rosa set the third fastest time.
Sources have suggested that the team were impressed with the new wing during straightline testing with it in Menorca last week and, although preliminary impressions were good in Barcelona today, further work will be conducted on it for the remainder of the week.
"We did some work on the aerodynamics, continuing the work from Menorca and there is a small improvement," de la Rosa told autosport.com. "Fernando will try other aero stuff to see how things are tomorrow. It was a satisfactory day. It is a small improvement and every bit counts."
