Silverstone Test
26:06:2008 Day Three |
| |
|
Thursday would
see the AT&T Williams team wrap up its three-day test at Silverstone with
Kazuki Nakajima replacing Nico Rosberg for the final day. Kazuki would complete the team's work on setup's for next week's
British Grand Prix.
The wind
was strong for the second day running, so this made the work on aerodynamics
difficult but the team was able to complete most of their test programme. In total the team has completed
close to 1,200 kilometres, over the three days.
TEAM QUOTES
Sam Michael, Technical Director:
“This week at Silverstone we worked on different mechanical and aerodynamic
set-ups, initially with Nico and then with Kazuki. Although it was quite
windy, the weather was generally good over the three days. We managed to
cover the majority of our test programme in preparation for the Grand Prix
here.”
Nico Rosberg:
“It was a very important test for us after our experience at Magny-Cours. We
put a great deal of effort into understanding what happened in France, and
ran through quite an extensive test programme over the three days. We
managed to work through a lot of items and have come away with a good
understanding of some crucial elements which will help us going into the
short and medium terms. Overall, it was a very useful test. Looking forward
to the race at Silverstone, it’ll be very tight as usual because the top six
places are always taken, but we will go out there and do our best.” |
