Both Kubica and Glock were on action today. They concentrated on varied programmes, such as aero testing, system checks or brakes. The times set by the Team drivers were very promising, as Kubica finished 2nd, behind De la Rosa.

Test in Barcelona 12th February – 14th February 2007
Day one – Monday

Programme:   For the first day of this three day test Robert did aero work, concentrating on the front wings. He also tested different brakes, and shortly before the end of the day stopped out on the track as the team had planned to run the car dry.

The team wanted to give Timo as many laps as possible, as this was his first proper day in the new car because to date he had experienced bad weather in his tests. He did an aero test as well as systems, diagnostics and recovery work. Due to rain in the middle of the day the team lost a couple of hours of running and also there were numerous red flags.
