Robert Kubica had a busy day as he was the only BMW Sauber F1 Team driver at the test today so he drove both chassis. He worked on aero and damper comparisons with chassis 06 and also completed some long tyre compound runs for Michelin. With chassis 07 he completed aero work.

What comes next:
This was the end of the three day test for the BMW Sauber F1 Team. Over the three days the teams' drivers, Jacques Villeneuve, Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica, covered a total of 1,700 kilometres between them. Next week the team has its first home race, the European Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, and the official opening of the team's Pit Lane Park.
