BMW kicks off Jerez test

NEWS STORY
19/09/2006

While the majority of the teams were in action at Silversytone today, BMW kicked off its programme at Jerez.

The team had to wait for an hour in the morning for the fog to clear before starting its programme, but after that it was dry and sunny.

Sebastian Vettel was working on electronics for next year, consequently it was a day of shaking down the car and he did not do as many miles as his Polish teammate, Robert Kubica, who worked on development issues for the forthcoming races, concentrating on the suspension, dampers, set-up and new aero parts.

Tomorrow (Wednesday), Nick Heidfeld will take over from Vettel and do the next two days of the test with Kubica.

The team will not make a decision on what work Nick will do until it has been able to analyse the results of the work done by Vettel, while Robert will continue doing set-up work for the remaining races. The team will also do scanning work on the tyres on both cars for the remaining races.

Honda will also be testing at Jerez tomorrow.
