Today on the last day of testing in Barcelona for the BMW Sauber F1 Team both drivers, Nick Heidfeld and Jacques Villeneuve, ran a race simulation programme. The team will be testing again in Imola from February 22 to 24.

During the last day of testing on the "Circuit de Catalunya", both drivers concentrated on race preparations for the first Grand Prix of the season in Bahrain on 12th March.
It was a very productive day,as they both run lots of laps and Heidfeld set the best time for a V8 in Barcelona,in fact it was 0.3 seconds than the record of Alonso!
