BMW tests new parts to optimize balance

By on

Both cars ran without technical problems, although the test sessions were again hampered by the low track and air temperatures. Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld concentrated on the mechanical and aerodynamical set-up of the car. The team tried some new parts to optimize the balance of the car. Both drivers could do their programme as scheduled and went through a lot of items on the testing list.

What comes next: Testing in Barcelona continues on Sunday. Both BMW Sauber F1 Team drivers are scheduled to work again on the set-up of the F1.08 car.
