Heidfeld quickest in Valencia

AS the rest of the teams focus on the upcoming German Grand Prix by testing at low-downforce Monza, Sauber has been at Valencia preparing for the more twisty confines of the Hungaroring.

Yesterday Kimi Raikkonen performed 58 solitary laps, getting down to a 1m 15.69s, while today Nick Heidfeld was spurred on to a 1m 14.385s by the presence of BAR's development driver Patrick Lemarie, who set a 1m 15.302s.
