Bad weather limits testing mileage for BMW on final day at Jerez

By on

Due to the bad weather and in view of the limited testing mileage, the team decided to stop testing at mid-day. Timo, who had his first proper run in the F1.07 started the day making starts on extreme weather tyres. He then changed to standard wet tyres and worked on a baseline set-up. Systems and diagnostics checks were also on his programme. Nick also tested the extreme weather tyres before switching to standard wet tyres. He worked on the fine tuning of the traction control and made some diagnostics checks.

What comes next: The BMW Sauber F1 Team will be testing in Barcelona from February 12 to 14.
