Having shown the pace of the new F1.07 during winter testing in Europe, BMW Sauber carried its speed to the desert climes of Bahrain as Nick Heidfeld led the way on the second day of testing in the Middle East.
On his first day of running in Bahrain, Fernando Alonso posted the second quickest time, nearly six tenths of a second off the pace displayed by Heidfeld. Alonso set a time of 1min 31.225secs during the day as the team worked on evaluation of the MP4-22 package in the warm Bahrain conditions. Lewis Hamilton in the second car was fourth fastest with the pair sandwiching Jenson Button on the timesheets. Both Button and Hamilton, like the BMW duo, completed full race runs during the afternoon.
