BMW Sauber F1 - Jerez Day One
The BMW Sauber F1 team was at it again in the south of Spain today, crushing the test track with their Sauber F1 car. They were testing out the new Bridgestone tires that were built to 2010 specs. The BMW Sauber team will be giving feedback to Bridgestone on how to improve the tire’s handling capabilities. Robert Kubica lapped the 4 and a half KM Jerez Race Track 47 times, but the day was cut short because a wave of drizzle rolled in. The team swapped out to rain tires and began simulating race starts.
Some early-morning engine changes were made as a precautionary measure because the engine sensors were firing, but there weren’t any problems throughout the day.
Several red flags interrupted racing during the day, Robert Kubica mentioned that he expects a busy 2nd day.
