Programme: The BMW Sauber F1 Team has offered German driver Sebastian Vettel the opportunity to test the F1.06 for a day. Vettel, who turned 19 just two days ago, won the German Formula BMW Championship in 2004. He is currently competing in the Formula 3 Euroseries. Vettel completed 83 laps without any problems.
Robert Kubica mainly concentrated on evaluating new aerodynamic parts, and he also did a tyre test for Michelin. He finished prematurely due to a mechanical problem.
What comes next: Tomorrow, Robert will continue to drive while Jacques Villeneuve will take over from Sebastian. Nick Heidfeld, who was initially scheduled to drive, changed his plans due to a muscle twinge in his neck after his crash in Indianapolis.
Sebastian Vettel:
This was obviously a special opportunity for me, but I just tried to take it easy and concentrate on my job. The whole day went really well. I was able to complete many laps without any problems. I learned a lot, particularly on tyres."
"Thats a very complex issue in Formula One, because they change a lot over a run and one has to adapt the driving style. Its clear that I cannot exploit the whole potential of the car yet, but that seems to be a matter of time. Im happy with the day.
