It was a trouble free Friday for the BMW Sauber F1 Team in the desert. Just as the team had planned, Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld used the first two practice sessions to prepare for the Bahrain Grand Prix. .
Robert Kubica: "I am happy with today's work. We managed to do quite a
lot of laps and worked on the aerodynamic set-up of the F1.08. We
consistently improved the car's balance. All in all, it was a very
productive day."
Nick Heidfeld: "We have completed our programme as planned and had no
technical issues at all. Sand isn't a problem either. For the long runs
I'm already quite happy with the balance of the car, but I have some
problems with its balance when it comes to doing a single fast lap. We
will now look at the data and search for some improvements for
tomorrow's qualifying."
Willy Rampf (Technical Director): "We are satisfied with the first
practice day. We concentrated on race preparations and did the tyre
comparison. Robert got used to the car right from the beginning,
whereas Nick is not yet completely happy with the balance of his car.
Now we shall concentrate on analysing the data, then the relevant
changes will be adopted. We had no technical problems."
