For the third and final young driver day in Jerez the BMW Sauber F1 Team had a rather more mature driver at the wheel! Bertrand Baguette from Belgium is the 2009 Formula Renault champion, and had already tested the French manufacturer’s F1 car last Tuesday at the same track.
Despite this the 23-year-old started work with a similar programme to that the youngster who tested on Tuesday and Wednesday had to become familiar with the car.
In the afternoon the team let him run aerodynamic tests, including downforce measurements on different configurations.
The engineers were very happy with Bertrand’s feedback and comments, as well as with the useful overall results of the day.
