Keith just before the season starts you should make a poll on who is going to win the drivers and the constructors championship. My head goes with Kubica or Massa though my heart with Raikkonen and Alonso!

Nick Heidfeld
Chassis / engine: BMW Sauber F1.09-02 / BMW 86/9
Test kilometres today: 367 (92 laps)

Programme:
With gusty winds reaching 50 km/h, the scheduled test programme had to be changed and the main focus of the morning’s work switched from set-up to reliability. Nick Heidfeld completed several long runs to put more mileage on the new F1.09. After the weather improved slightly in the afternoon, Heidfeld was at last able to work on the mechanical set-up.

“Finally I could drive the F1.09 for the very first time,” Heidfeld said after completing 92 laps. “We still have a lot of work to do, but we are making progress with each kilometre and the reliability is already there. Overall the F1.09 handles quite differently to last year’s car. Fortunately I managed to work on the set-up in the afternoon. The most important result after my first day of testing is that the car reacts as intended to set-up changes.”

What comes next:
Tomorrow will conclude the BMW Sauber F1 Team’s four-day test session in Valencia.

Didn’t realise they were testing tomorrow as well. They’re going to have some excellent mileage on their car.

FERRARI: over 1500 km
BMW: 1.523 km
McLaren: 690 km (most of it in the wet)

In times of banned track tests, BMW starts in an interesting advantage.

Keith – Do you have the BMW lap times?
