Programme:
Due to the bad weather conditions the team could not run the
first of three test days as scheduled. The team decided to
save testing mileage – limited by the regulations –
for future sessions. Instead Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica
concentrated on system checks, collecting data with the F1.08
car running on wet and extreme wet tyres. Kubica limited his
driving to six laps overall. Heidfeld did practice starts
in the wet. In the afternoon the team conducted several practice
pitstops under different conditions as a special training
for the mechanics.
What comes next:
BMW Sauber F1 Team will continue testing in Valencia for two
more days. Tomorrow again Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica
will be the drivers.
