The entire day was interrupted time and time again by red flags. That shows how close to limits the Teams are going, including BMW-Sauber, which also suffered a mechanical reliability issue in Kubica's car once again.

27th February – 1st March 2007
Day two – Wednesday

Programme:   The entire day was interrupted time and time again by red flags. Despite the interruptions, in the morning session Nick completed his scheduled programme for testing mechanical set-ups. Robert’s programme was further hampered by a hydraulic leak in the morning. In the afternoon the team was able to complete its scheduled programme and concentrated on optimizing mechanical set-up on both cars and carried out some tyre comparisons.
