Zoom Heidfeld busy working towards the next Grand Prix

Following the 'summer break' and the European Grand Prix last weekend, the teams were back in action today at Monza, the home of the Italian Grand Prix.

For BMW Sauber, a solid third in the constructors' standings, Nick Heidfeld worked on the mechanical setup of the BMW Sauber F1.08 in the morning session.

Preparing for the upcoming Belgian and Italian Grand Prix he worked on suspension setup, gearbox ratios and brake balance. In the afternoon the engineers switched their focus to aerodynamics.

In perfect weather conditions the team made good progress trying various solutions for the high-speed and low downforce races.

The team will continue testing in Monza for two more days with Heidfeld again at the wheel tomorrow before handing over to team-mate Robert Kubica on Friday.
