Kamui gets his impressions across very quickly, which means he can give the engineers the information they need to work out the changes required. With Pedro you can see that his vast well of experience has given him a broad base of technical knowledge, which is extremely valuable for all involved. However, the working relationship between the drivers and team has got off to a very good start. How is the working relationship between the drivers and the team?īoth drivers are new to the team and so we’re all still getting to know each other. It’s clear that the cars have a greater tendency to understeer, which we can balance out to a certain degree by shifting the weight further back and making the necessary changes to the chassis set-up. Generally speaking, their effect is less pronounced than expected. What has changed as a result of the slimmer front tyres? Finding the right compromise here will be absolutely critical. The cars will run a minimal fuel load in qualifying and then line up for the race with a full tank, but changes to set-up will not be allowed. I wouldn’t call it a problem, but it’s certainly a challenge. The fuel load of the car – and therefore its weight – will vary hugely in 2010. The drivers’ comments have been generally positive regarding factors such as braking stability, traction and the car’s responses under widely varying fuel loads.
What are the drivers telling you about the handling of the C29?
Vastly differing fuel loads make it impossible to draw an absolute comparison with other teams’ cars. All we can say is that our car is delivering the performance expected based on our simulations and measurements in the wind tunnel. That is even more difficult to assess this year than in previous years. How are things looking in terms of the car’s performance and Season in Bahrain or even before the next test? Of course, we have to make some adjustments and modifications, but that’s what tests are there for.Īre these all things that can be rectified ahead of the first race of the We completed 1,000 kilometres over the three days without encountering any major problems. How happy are you with the reliability of the BMW Sauber C29 after the firstĪll in all we can be satisfied with the reliability of the car. READ THIS NOW!
