Williams progress affected by hold up of new parts

By on

Nico Rosberg replaced Kazuki Nakajima behind the wheel of the FW29 today, day two of the three day test at a very hot and sunny Jerez in southern Spain. The team's morning progress was severely affected by complications with kit travelling from the UK, meaning no laps were recorded until the afternoon session. Once the parts were in place, the team worked apace to make up the lost time.

Joined by eight of the 11 Formula One teams, Nico clocked 32 laps and set a personal best time of 1:22.863.

Dickie Stanford, Test Team Manager, Williams F1: "Nico took over the reins from Kazuki for day two of running in Jerez. We were a little late getting started due to a hold up with some parts that were travelling over from the UK and Nico did a good job to get through most of his programme in the afternoon. He worked on systems checks with some 2008 parts and also signed off some components for the Japanese Grand Prix next week."
