Vettel and Heidfeld kick off Monza test for BMW

By on

Sebastian Vettel did some long runs in order to get used to driving in low downforce configuration. After that he started with set-up work, and he did a small tyre programme in the afternoon. Nick started with set-up work in the morning followed by some aerodynamic evaluations. In addition, the team worked on engine development. Nick then completed a tyre test for Michelin. The two drivers ran different programmes in the afternoon.

Tomorrow, Robert Kubica will take over from Sebastian, while Nick will continue to drive. The focus will be on further improving the set-up and on tyre testing.
