Testing continued at Valencia as Sauber Petronas again called on wheelman Nick Heidfeld. Heidfeld was this time concentrating on electronics developments for the C22, but delayed the program slightly after a mid-morning spin.
Commenting on the second say of testing at Valencia, Jacky Eeckelaert (Head of Vehicle Engineering) said "We almost completed our program this morning which comprised working on miscellaneous electronic systems. We lost some time after having to clean up the car when Nick spun. This afternoon we lost additional time because of several red flags."
Sauber Petronas will be back at Valencia tomorrow, where testing will concentrate on aerodynamics and tyre development.
