Windy conditions for BMW on Valencia Day3


By BMW Sauber F1 Team
January 22 2009

The team today continued its evaluation programme for the BMW Sauber F1.09. In the morning Robert Kubica tried different set-up solutions and once more carried out a number of race start simulations. Due to strong winds in the afternoon, the engineers switched their focus to overall reliability. Several long runs helped amass further basic data for the all-new car.

"While the morning was good, unfortunately the wind made testing quite difficult in the afternoon," Robert commented after completing 116 laps. "But we still got some interesting results which will help us understand the new BMW Sauber F1.09 better."

After two days with Robert at the wheel, tomorrow sees the BMW Sauber F1.09 in the hands of Nick Heidfeld for the first of two more days of testing.
