Willy Rampf, Technical Director Chassis: "Overall, the test in
Barcelona was very positive for our team. The reliability of the BMW
Sauber F1.06 is already on a good level, which enabled us to complete
over 1500 kilometres with the new car during the four days. We could
collect a lot of data and learned more about the set-up of the F1.06.
In addition, I am very satisfied with the debut of Robert in our team.
Over two days, he didn't make the smallest error, and he was able to
improve constantly. On top of that he is also able to give valuable
feedback to the engineers." Willy Rampf, Technischer Direktor
Chassis: "Der Test in Barcelona war für uns insgesamt sehr
positiv. Die Zuverlässigkeit des BMW Sauber F1.06 hat bereits
einen guten Stand erreicht, so dass wir in den vier Tagen mit dem neuen
Auto über 1500 Kilometer zurücklegen und dabei entsprechend
viele Daten sammeln konnten. Zudem haben wir auch bereits einige
Erkenntnisse in Bezug auf die Abstimmung gewonnen. Sehr zufrieden bin
ich mit dem ersten Einsatz von Robert. Er hat sich zwei Tage lang nicht
den geringsten Fehler geleistet und sich kontinuierlich gesteigert.
Darüber hinaus ist er auch schon in der Lage, den Ingenieuren
wertvolles Feedback zu geben."
