Programme:
In the morning the team did a full race simulation following the official time schedule and pre- race procedures of a race day. On a wet track Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld completed a race distance including several scheduled pitstops. Both BMW Sauber F1.08 covered the longrun without any technical problems. In the afternoon, on a then dry track, the team continued to work on the set-up of the car. Although ever changing air and track temperatures affected the test work, both drivers again collected valuable data on aerodynamical and mechanical aspects of the new car.
What comes next:
BMW Sauber F1 Team will test in Valencia again tomorrow. Alongside regular drivers Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld the team's new test driver Christian Klien will take over the wheel for the first time.
