As the morning was wet, the BMW Sauber F1 team did not start
its work until the afternoon. It is quite a time since any
members of this team have been at the circuit so it was important
to do preparation work for the British Grand Prix on the 11th
June. Jacques Villeneuve completed set-up and aero work, while
Robert Kubica did set-up work and tyre comparisons.
What comes next:
Tomorrow Jacques will continue testing and will concentrate
on tyres and aero work. It will be Nick Heidfeld’s first
day, taking over from Robert, and he will do some set-up work
to catch up with what the team has been doing today and then
also work on tyres.
