Test in Valencia. 30th January – 2nd February 2007

Programme: Sebastian started the day working on the set-up of the car and then continued with an aerodynamic evaluation programme. In the afternoon he lost some time because of a hydraulic problem. Robert also worked on the set-up and was happy with the progress the team made during the day. He then tested a new Bridgestone tyre compound. He was forced to stop early because of a leak in the oil system that could not be fixed in time.
