Although the afternoon session was shortened by one hour due to rain the BMW Sauber F1 team could complete most of it's scheduled test programme.

In the morning Kubica encountered a minor technical issue. After radio contact with his engineer he did a precautionary stop. After repairs his car ran faultlessly for the rest of the day.
