The BMW Sauber F1 Team had a smooth first practice day for the weekend of the Spanish Grand Prix. Drivers Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld did their preparation work according to the planned schedule. Reactions... .
Robert Kubica: "It was very important for me to do a lot of laps. I did
not have the chance to prepare for this GP during last week's test as I
worked with the 2009 tyres then. However, during today's programme we
did a lot of set-up changes and evaluated the tyres. We now have to
look at the data and will prepare for tomorrow."
Nick Heidfeld: "From my point of view this first day of practice was
okay. We had no noteworthy problems, we tried and tested everything as
planned. Regarding the car's balance it is not perfect yet, but I think
we can improve it for tomorrow."
Willy Rampf (Technical Director): "Although we tested here last week,
there is still enough work to do, particularly because the weather
conditions were perfect today. As always on Fridays, we totally
concentrated on race preparation, in particular on the tyre performance
on long-runs. The two drivers ran different programmes. We now have a
good basis on which we can build up."
