Programme:
After a technical problem in the engine department caused
a two hour delay in the morning, Nick was able to get in some
good running. He was able to catch up on the to-do list after
only doing limited mileage yesterday. He concentrated on set-up
work for the Malaysian Grand Prix and the car improved. After
lunch he continued with a long run for race preparation and
completed systems work. At 14:45 hrs it started raining heavily.
The team took a short break, and once the conditions had improved
Nick continued on wet weather tyres. The track dried out again
and allowed further tyre evaluation under the changing conditions,
which are not untypical for Sepang.
What comes next:
This was the final day of testing in Sepang. The next test
for the BMW Sauber F1 Team is scheduled for 30th April until
2nd May in Barcelona.
