Nico Hülkenberg,
the first of the AT&T Williams team drivers to experience the FW31 felt
confident in the car’s abilities, but naturally reflected on the difference
from its predecessors.
“Straight
away the new car feels okay, I feel comfortable in it and for a new car, we
have also had a trouble-free morning technically, which is important. Of
course everyone will want to know how it compares to the 2008 car and what
the impact of the rule changes are from a driver’s point of view.
In truth, I
cannot say too much after a few laps, because the track is 100% new to me, I
have never run here and also it is pretty wet, so I have no baseline
for comparison – if we were at Jerez or Barcelona in the dry, I could
be a little more specific. But the important thing for today is simply to
make sure we run through all the checks of the basic systems on the car and
confirm everything is working as it should. So far that is the case and we
can be happy.”
