By the end of this
afternoon’s practice session, the AT&T Williams team began to derive
some gains from the new development parts brought to the FW30 for this
race, despite variable weather conditions which made optimisation of
these components a more complicated task. Nico Rosberg closed out the
day in P6, although Kazuki Nakajima will be looking to improve his feel
in the car in tomorrow morning’s last practice session ahead of
qualifying.
Nico Rosberg:
"The
morning didn’t start too well and we weren’t looking so good, so we made
some big set-up changes over lunch and we definitely improved and found
some clear direction. We have some new development parts on the car,
which have helped our pace even if the conditions have been too variable
to really get the most out of them today. If I think about it, our
experience today has been much like last year when we struggled here on
Friday but improved a lot over the course of the weekend. So we have
taken some good steps forward today, but of course we still need to find
some more performance tomorrow to close up to those in front of us."
Kazuki Nakajima:
"In
the morning, conditions weren’t too bad, even if we had to improve our
lap times considerably. We made some set-up changes, but I found this
afternoon was much trickier. I was struggling to get a good feeling from
the car. I’ll be looking to find overall grip in tomorrow’s practice
session, and if I manage to do this, then I will be able to push more."

Technical Director WilliamsF1 "It
was a pretty difficult day with weather causing variable conditions for
everyone today, especially in the afternoon. We had to alter our P2
programme quite a bit, but we still managed to generate some data and
set-up information for the car and tonight we will use that work towards
the best set-up for qualifying. We experienced no mechanical problems
today."
