Programme: Sebastian Vettel had his first run in the F1.07 and used the initial laps to familiarise with the car. Because of the wet conditions in the morning he made several starts and did some systems work. When the track began to dry out in the afternoon, he worked on the set- up of the car.
Nick Heidfeld started the day doing functionality checks. In the afternoon he had just begun working on the set-up when he was hampered by a small mechanical problem that made him lose some time.
What comes next: Tomorrow Robert Kubica will take over from Sebastian, while Nick will continue to drive. The weather forecast looks encouraging so that the two drivers should be able to carry out some set-up evaluations.
Sebastian Vettel:

Test kilometres today: 316 km (79 laps)
