Heidfeld also did a couple of practice starts.
"The weather was perfect for today's programme", Heidfeld said after completing 92 laps. "We could try a lot of different set-up solutions and even do some aero work."

The BMW Sauber F1 Team will continue testing in Barcelona for three more days. Nick Heidfeld will be at the wheel of the BMW Sauber F1.09 again tomorrow. On Wednesday and Thursday Robert Kubica will take over driving duties.
