Kubica ahead of Hamilton

By ,

BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica set today the fastest lap around of the Jerez de la Frontera circuit in Spain in Day 3 of the ultimate test session of the F1 teams for 2007.Kubica set a time of 1:19.157 which is just 1/10th of a second slower than the time clocked by his teammate Nick Heidfeld on Thuesday.Reigning GP2 series' champion Timo Glock was impressive in the Toyota, setting the 5th fastest time of the day.Retiree Michael Schumacher drove the Ferrari to 8th place.The two Force India cars, driven by Ralf Schumacher and Vitantonio Liuzzi were disappointing, setting the two slowest times of all.Lap times are however difficult to compare as some cars may have run on slick tires, while other ran with the mandatory ECU, or with the driver' aids switched off while others running with the 2009 areo package which generates massively less downforce.J erez de la Frontera, Spain. 4.428km
