After having set
the seventh fastest time in the opening Friday practice AT&T Williams driver
Nico Rosberg would improve on this by finishing fourth fastest in the second
session for the 2007 Hungarian Grand Prix. Team-mate Alex Wurz continued to
be down the order but it was found that his track time had been limited by
an electrical problem in the morning session. Alex would finish the second
session in twelfth.
The
second ninety minute practice session would start with sunny conditions but
as the session progressed clouds would cover the circuit and a small amount
of rain would fall in the final half hour.
Nico's fourth fastest time was set early in the session. This early show of
pace from Nico must have been encouraging for the Williams team, but Nico
could be considered to be lucky given the change in conditions which would
see most drivers fail to improve on their times in the final fifteen
minutes. Both drivers would set their times using the softer of the two
types supplied by Bridgestone. |
