Nico Rosberg would continue the driving duties on the third day of this week's AT&T Williams test at the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona. The team would be confronted by an overcast morning but the clouds would clear by the afternoon.

Nico would spend the day working on preparations for next week's Spanish Grand Prix. But the morning session would see Nico suffer a technical problem which would limit his running. Nico would only complete fifteen laps during the morning. But in the afternoon session Nico would be the first to return to the track finishing the day with the fifth fastest time, 1m:19.841.

Williams Test Team Manager Dickie Stanford commented: “Today Nico worked with the standard 2008 race tyre and carried out set-up preparations
for the Spanish Grand Prix here next week. A minor mechanical problem hindered progress this morning, but the issue was quickly resolved and we had a productive session in the afternoon. Kazuki will take over for the last day of running tomorrow, during which we will continue set-up work for the race.”
