Nick spent his first day of testing in Jerez concentrating on set-up changes,
including new dampers, and their interaction with the new Bridgestone Potenza
tyres.
Robert, who turned 22 today, continued testing the new gearbox and completed a
huge set-up programme whilst also carrying out mechanical system checks which
were on today's to do list.
Both drivers had a trouble-free day.
What comes next:
Tomorrow is the third and final day of the Jerez test. While Nick will continue
to drive, Timo Glock takes over from Robert. Both Nick and Timo will have the
new gearbox fitted in their cars. For Timo it is the second test day with the
BMW Sauber F1 Team. The 24-year-old German gave his debut at the wheel of an
F1.06 at last week's Barcelona test and already joined the team today in the
garage.
The weather forecast for Friday is still not promising and the team have
prepared a rain programme for tomorrow.
