Heidfeld concludes Sepang test for BMW

By on

After a technical problem in the engine department caused a two hour delay in the morning, Nick was able to get in some good running. He was able to catch up on the to-do list after only doing limited mileage yesterday.

He concentrated on set-up work for the Malaysian Grand Prix and the car improved. After lunch he continued with a long run for race preparation and completed systems work. At 14:45 hrs it started raining heavily. The team took a short break, and once the conditions had improved Nick continued on wet weather tyres. The track dried out again and allowed further tyre evaluation under the changing conditions, which are not untypical for Sepang.

What comes next:
This was the final day of testing in Sepang. The next test for the BMW Sauber F1 Team is scheduled for 30th April until 2nd May in Barcelona.

Nick Heidfeld:
Chassis / engine: BMW Sauber F1.07-05 / BMW P86/7 V8
Test kilometres today: 394 km (71 laps)
Fastest lap: 1:37.318 min
