Programme:
Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld continued work on the set-up
of the F1.08 car. Kubica’s car ran without major problems.
Heidfeld encountered a minor technical issue in the morning
session and did a precautionary stop on the track. When the
car was back in the pits the team fixed the problem and Heidfeld
resumed testing as scheduled. Both drivers worked on adapting
the set-up of the car to their driving style. In general the
three days of Barcelona testing went as planned for the team.
Both drivers tested different mechanical and aerodynamical
solutions which put the development of the F1.08 significantly
forwrad. Although the test was affected overall by low temperatures
and by some rain on the last day, the weather gave the team
the chance to run the F1.08 on intermediate and wet tyres
for the first time. Robert Kubica did 239 laps (1.112,545
km) in total, Nick Heidfeld 208 laps (968,240 km).
What comes next:
The upcoming test for BMW Sauber F1 Team will be in Jerez
from February 12th to 14th. Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld
are scheduled to be the drivers
