Programme:
Due to the wet track proper test work was delayed until the
latter part of the morning session. When the track finally
had dried up Nick Heidfeld and the team’s new test driver
Christian Klien continued to work on the set-up of the BMW
Sauber F1.08. Driving the car in dry conditions for the first
time Klien further familiarized himself with the car doing
system checks and some basic set-up work. In the afternoon
both drivers followed the team’s testing program as
scheduled. Completing 75 and 42 laps respectively Heidfeld
and Klien continued to develop the car. The main focus was
on collecting data using some new parts.
What comes next:
The BMW Sauber F1 Team continues testing for two more days
in Barcelona. Tomorrow Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica will
be the drivers.
