Valencia Test Day 2: Robert and Nick on duty
By BMW Sauber F1 Tean January 24 2008
On Wednesday, Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld continued the BMW Sauber F1 Team's testing programme in Valencia. While Robert was driving the new BMW Sauber F1.08, Nick took to the track in the F1.07B. Conditions for the BMW Sauber F1 Team at the "Circuit de la Comunitat" were good, with sunshine, slight winds and temperatures reaching 19°C.
Robert drove the team's 2008 challenger, the BMW Sauber F1.08. He completed 121 laps (485 kilometres) and set a personal fastest lap time of 1:13.230 minutes. Nick covered a total mileage of 204 kilometres (51 laps) at the wheel of the F1.07B. His personal fastest lap time was clocked in 1:12.976 minutes. A total of 17 drivers took part at the test drives today.

Nick had a limited programme and concentrated on systems settings. He did a lot of valuable work that can be transferred to the new car. Robert was at the wheel of the F1.08 working on the mechanical and aerodynamic set-up of the car. In addition, he did numerous systems checks and tested different suspension parts. Both cars ran reliably all day.

Tomorrow, Robert will continue driving the F1.08 while Nick will again be at the wheel of the F1.07B.
