His Sauber teammate Esteban Gutierrez has also driven a little on the 5.14-km track as a reserve with the Swiss-based team.
"BIC is another track that I like, because it has really long straights, very good braking and fast chicanes, which make the driving experience very special. There is quite a lot of margin for error with the run-off areas, but in order to put a good lap in you need to be precise. You have slow and medium speed corners that are quite technical, like turns five, six and seven. This is quite challenging for the tyres."
The races in 2011 and 2012 were won comfortably by Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, who is expected to seal his fourth straight world title next week.
