Zoom Looking to find the balance on the F1.08

BMW Sauber continued to go it alone at the Valencia circuit today with regular race drivers Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld back in action at the Spanish test circuit.

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 Kubica and Heidfeld completed a race distance including several scheduled pitstops.

Both F1.08s covered the long runs 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 data on aerodynamic and mechanical aspects of the new car.

Kubica recorded a best lap of 1:12.893s and completed 121 laps while Heidfeld set a best of 1:13.542s over 136 laps. New signing Christian Klien will join the duo on track tomorrow.
