N Heidfeld, returning from a number of injuries, and being a former Williams F1 driver, was able to finally get some time in the cockpit of his new ride, the BMWSauber.
Testing started on Monday, where he posted the second fastest lap.
Times don't really count today, they werent great.
Today, with the addition of Red Bull, Toyota, and Williams, things didn't shape up as maybe we would like.
1 C. Klien Red Bull 01:17.567 45
2 A. Wurz McLaren 01:17.754 69
3 R. Zonta Toyota 01:17.821 58
4 P. de la Rosa McLaren 01:18.066 64
5 J. Trulli Toyota 01:18.641 82
6 V. Liuzzi STR 01:19.756 66
7 N. Rosberg Williams 01:20.456 58
8 R. Doornbos Red Bull 01:20.701 51
9 N. Heidfeld Sauber 01:21.013 27
10 A. Priaulx Williams 01:25.055 18
Times today, almost identical to yesterday.
I personally think this is a poor start to the new campaign. Wheres the second BMWSauber?
I'm not trying to slag Heidfeld here, but he was out performed by Doornbos in a RBR!!
Only better than a guy in his second day ever in an F1 car!
That BMW engine may not have the harmonic vibration problem the others have, probably because their soooo far down the rev curve, that they arn't even close to being competitive.
And I know, this is just the first test, it does'nt count for much, but holy smokes, second from last two days in a row!!!
I don't know about you, but I'm not overly impressed!
