Nico Hulkenberg kicked off the Barcelona test for the Williams team, with the youngster completing a total of 82 laps and ending second in the timesheets at the end of the day. Hulkenberg focused on testing a variety of set-ups, long runs, and system checks on his FW32.

Sam Michael, Technical Director: "Nico spent our first day of four in Barcelona working on set-up, long runs and systems checks, like cooling. We also did some aero testing. Tomorrow, Nico will drive Chassis 02 and continue working through our programme."

Nico Hülkenberg: "We had a good day. I did quite a lot of laps on different set-ups so we can continue to learn how the car will react. It’s my last day tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to getting lots of laps in to be in the best possible shape for Bahrain."
