BMW goes France
This morning the BMW Sauber F1 Team started testing in France at the 'Paul Ricard Circuit'. Robert Kubica, the third driver of the BMW Sauber F1 Team, was on testing duty today. Tomorrow Nick Heidfeld will take over from Kubica.
In the morning, Robert did some starts to optimise the respective settings, then continued with an aerodynamic validation programme. He then did a long-run to gain specific data on cooling. In the afternoon, the team did a tyre test programme for Michelin that revealed some interesting results. Overall it was a very productive test day.
What comes next:
Tomorrow, Nick Heidfeld will take over and do preparation work in view of the Imola Grand Prix, and he will continue with the aerodynamic validation programme.
