By Andrew Hooper April 25 2008
The AT&T Williams team would see an improvement in their fortunes after the second Friday practice for the 2008 Spanish GP. Kazuki Nakajima would finish in an excellent fourth while team-mate Nico Rosberg was in seventh. After going the wrong way in the settings in the previous session the team made a change for the second that saw an improvement with the FW30 and a direction to take for Saturday.
 
 Spanish GP Friday 2nd Practice
 

After having a difficult start to Friday practice with Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima finishing in twelfth and fifteenth the second session would see a turn around.

Kazuki would finish ahead of Nico with the Japanese driver finishing fourth while Nico was in seventh. The team had changed the settings used in the morning and found an instant improvement. Both drivers were happy with the results and the direction that the team has to take in their preparations for qualifying.

By the end of the second Friday practice session it was very much a productive day for the team. Both drivers would have a trouble free day completing 117 laps between them.
