Williams continue preparations for 2008 season

Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima returned to the track today to continue preparations for the 2008 season. The pair were on duty at a dry and sunny Barcelona circuit and spent the day carrying out set-up work on the FW30s. Kazuki also completed a race simulation on the way to 100 laps of the 4.655km Spanish circuit. Nico, meanwhile, covered 350kms while also posting the fourth quickest time of the session.

The pair will take to the cockpit for the last time tomorrow as winter testing draws to a close prior to the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne on Sunday 16 March.

Test Times:
N Rosberg: 1:22.309 (19 / 75 laps) 4th
K Nakajima: 1:22.977 (97 / 100 laps) 11th

Dickie Stanford, Test Team Manager:
“Nico Rosberg once again concentrated on set-up work all day today ready for Australia. Kazuki in the second FW30 also did some set-up work in the morning followed by a race run which he successfully completed in the afternoon. Both drivers will return tomorrow for the final day of winter testing.”
