With strong winds persisting at the Valencia circuit in southern Spain, BMW Sauber F1 driver Nick Heidfeld brought the first test for the team's 2009 car to a close.
Heidfeld spent the morning going through system checks and the afternoon doing mechanical set-up testing.
"Although the test had to be interrupted once when the wind blew some debris on the track, I managed to do some long runs in the afternoon," Heidfeld said. "I finished the day with some race simulation starts on different tyre compounds."
This week the new BMW has covered 1,887km of testing. The team returns to testing on 10 February in Bahrain.
