Programme: As Nick Heidfeld in the past
two days Robert Kubica today tested different setup solutions
not only for the upcoming German Grand Prix but for the future
as well. Not concentrating on a single fast lap time he completed
490 kms also collecting valuable data on the two tyre compounds
(medium and hard) nominated for the German Grand Prix. In
perfect weather conditions Kubica also took the opportunity
– given to all teams by the Hockenheimring organisers
– to conduct start tests not as usual in the pitlane
but on the start and finish straight. Several pitstop practice
runs summed up today’s programme. The BMW Sauber F1.08
car ran without problems the whole day increasing the Hockenheim
total to 1.286 kms and finishing a positive test session for
the team.
What comes next: The BMW Sauber F1 Team
is now looking forward to it’s home Grand Prix which
will take place at the end of next week at the Hockenheimring.
