Programme:

Today`s testing schedule comprised basic development work with the BMW Sauber F1.09.
Nick Heidfeld tried different set-up solutions, did a couple of practice starts and evaluated
tyre options. Whereas in the morning everything went according to plan, in the afternoon the
car stopped twice on the track due to mechanical problems.

"Obviously that cost us some track time," Heidfeld said. "But despite this I managed to run
for 444 kilometres and we made good progress with the development of the car. We are still
learning the car and have already identified a few areas where we can make improvements."

What comes next:

Tomorrow will see the last of a total of eight test days on Bahrain`s Sakhir circuit. Nick
Heidfeld will again be at the wheel of the BMW Sauber F1.09.
