Heidfeld injured in testing
 

On the second day of testing at the Paul Ricard circuit BMW WilliamsF1 driver Nick Heidfeld was forced to cut short his test programme after he injured his back.

Nick was to injure his back when he was forced to correct oversteer in his car. Such was the movement of the car that he started to receive back pains which would see him return to his garage. It was decided by the team that Nick should cease testing and return home to fully recover prior to the next race at San Marino.

Both team drivers have now suffered back injuries with Mark Webber damaging a rib while testing at Barcelona in February. Like Nick Mark has been forced to  limit his time testing in order to recover fully.
