The training for this race is already over and the result shows how strong the team Vodafone McLaren Mercedes.
During the first session of practice, F1 newcomer Lewis Hamilton, who was driving for McLaren in the first juts before team-mate Fernando Alonso. In the second practice, Alonso, in his home race ended, while for Hamilton fifth.
While McLaren is expected that once again the good performance for the race tomorrow, BMW-Sauber team faces Robert Kubica, the fourth in the first session of practice and not the top ten in the second session. The other BMW Sauber driver, Nick Heidfeld, not the top ten in the first practice and only eighth position after the second training.
Recently, Heidfeld spoke about his performance during the tests. "All teams have the time to first race of the season for the European development," said the German driver. "The test in Barcelona, it was important, even though the weather was pretty bad. The extensive tests carried out here means that all drivers know the route like the back of the hand."
With headquarters in Switzerland talked about the drivers of the F1 race track, they will come to racing race day. "It is a fast circuit and has some nice corners. The fact that this is now the home for the GP world champion has a lot more attractive. Additional grandstands were built for the race 2006, and they are well filled. Racing in this type of atmosphere is ideal for all drivers, not just Fernando. The track layout was changed - the new section is less exciting, but safer. Now I'm hoping for another good result for my 30th birthday, "he shares.
In recent years the route was revised to the fast lane, so that the races more exciting. To protect the rider from injuries and crashes, the track is safer as a complement to the security features of F1 cars and their brakes and protective agencies.
The teammate Heidfeld, Robert Kubica of Poland, is clearly excited about the chance to race again in a European way. "I look forward to the first steps in Europe again and I'm aiming to earn me a few more points in the coming weeks," he says. Like Heidfeld, Kubica also felt that the revision of the track has the potential to affect all teams. "As all Formula One teams, we know the track in Barcelona very well Thank you to all the testing we do here. However, the circuit has been altered since last year," he continues.
The driver claimed the difference to the first Polish order for a Formula One team has these thoughts about the changes and how his team is to them: "The last two corners are not as fast as they are used, and this will impact to car setup. We have some testing at Barcelona on the eve of this year's race. Here it was important to find the right path and find the ideal balance for the car. We have a lot of data available, and I think , we can quickly move from the start. "
Heidfeld Sharing the view of the newly redesigned track, Kubica said: "I like the track, but I fear that the new corners, some of its charm. Fast curves with high downforce are a real treat in a Formula One car. But now the two high-speed curves were confirmed by a narrow chicane, where you only do 60 or 70 km / h. We have to make 260 km / h through that part of the trail. This change in the route means less fun, but more security. "
, To these two drivers bets out of the car is Technical Director Willy Rampf. The change in the route is one of the factors that Rampf considering about his duty. "The changes in the last two corners to reduce significantly the speed of vehicles through this section of the circuit, and this is somewhat reduced the previously very high loads on the left front tire," he said. This information is just one of many data, the team has to take into account when planning their strategy for the race. Rampf is visible that they have a good race. "In tests we have tried the various new aerodynamics and chassis components, as well as changes to the automotive electronics - and these have been very promising results. I am, therefore, the race confident in the mood," he said.
Because the team should have a strong presence in the race as Toyota has its eyes on the third digit shows that BMW than the moment. Currently, BMW-Sauber team has 18 points to their credit. Meanwhile, Nick Heidfeld is fifth in the drivers' world championship with 15 points. Robert Kubica, on the other hand, is eighth place with 3 points after three races.
