Another busy test day for Williams

By on

The team were back on track today at a rather warmer Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, for the second day of winter testing. Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima were again on duty to continue work on the scheduled programme, which included running through a comprehensive set of systems checks following the integration of the standard electronic control units (ECU), a new regulation for 2008.

Day two proved to be another successful session, with neither of the FW29B interim cars suffering any major mechanical problems.

Dickie Stanford, Test Team Manager, Williams F1: "Both Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima returned to the cockpit today for our second day at a slightly warmer Circuit de Catalunya. Continuing with our scheduled programme, the drivers worked through systems checks and evaluations of the new electronic control units. The pair will return for tomorrow's final day."

Nico Rosberg set the 6th quickest time of the day with a 1:22.33 on lap 34 out of 64. Kazuki Nakajima recorded his fastest lap, 1:23.031, on lap 46 out of a total of 77 laps.
