 Barcelona Test 30:04:2007 Day One
 

The AT&T Williams team would return to testing after a two week break from the last race in Bahrain. The team would commence their three day test at the Circuit de Catalunya with test driver Kazuki Kakajima carrying out the driving duties.

The team would commence their preparations for the next race at this circuit. He had stopped earlier on in the day with a technical problem with his car but his days testing would come to an end with Kazuki having an accident at the Curva Campsa. His car was extensively damaged on the right side forcing the team to rebuild the FW29 for the next days testing

AT&T Williams Test Team Manager Dickie Stanford commented: “For our first day at the Barcelona test, we started a programme of engine tests in preparation for the race here. We also did some set-up work. At about 2pm
this afternoon, however, Kazuki's session ended prematurely following an off at turn 9. He’s ok and the car will be fine to run tomorrow.”
