BMW Sauber struggles for speed
The BMW Sauber drivers believe that they have a lot of work to do after struggling for balance during opening practice for the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Although Robert Kubica was fastest for a period early in the second session, he ended the session back in seventh and was far from happy.
"We have had many problems today," said the Pole.
"Some we were able to fix in second free practice, but there is still some more work to do to fix the rest."
Nick Heidfeld was similarly downcast after ending up three places below Kubica on the timesheets.
"I am not happy with my car yet," he said.
"Especially at the beginning of the session the balance was not good at all, and the car was difficult to drive.
"Although later we made a step in the right direction, there is still a lot of work to do."
BMW technical director Willy Rampf admitted that the problems had caught the team off guard.
"Despite several modifications to the set up of the car, we were not able to make a significant step forward," he said.
"We now have to analyse all the data in order to understand where this problem comes from."
