Team Sauber Petronas completed its three-day test at the Circuito
Permanente de Jerez today. Giancarlo Fisichella covered 82 laps in
chassis C23-02 to set a best time of 1:17.362. Felipe Massa in chassis
C23-03 ran 89 laps with a best time of 1:17.344 From 17 to 19 February
the team will be testing in Imola.

Jacky Eeckelaert (Chief Race Engineer):

"Today we focused on mechanical set-up scans and cooling configuration
checks concerning the Melbourne race. We also completed the Bridgestone
tyre compounds work with Giancarlo which was originally scheduled for
yesterday. In the afternoon we changed the engine of his car as it has
reached its given mileage."

"After the problems yesterday we were still able to catch up and to
complete our test programme. Considering that we ran nearly 2,000
kilometres in three days with both cars we can say that we reached our
set target of this week."
