 Jerez Test 11:02:2008 Day One
 

The AT&T Williams team would return to testing, this time at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit in Spain. This was after their aborted test at the Circuit de Catalunya which saw the team having to cope with an unexpected front wing failure on Kazuki Nakajima's car that they were not able to resolve at the track.

The test at Jerez will be for four days with the team working on further development of the FW30. Both race drivers, Kazuki Nakajima and Nico Rosberg, were present. The FW30 would run with yet another new livery as the British squad continue celebrating their 30 years of racing in Formula One.

At the end of the day Kazuki was third fastest and Nico fourth. The new front wing was given a tick of approval with both drivers having no major issues. Between the two drivers they would complete one hundred and ninety two laps.

Williams F1 Technical Director Sam Michael commented: “We ran two cars on the first day of this week’s Jerez test, with both the race drivers working through the test programme. After signing off the revision to the front wing mounting system, we proceeded to work on mechanical set-up and long runs for reliability. We had no major issues and both Nico and Kazuki will continue with the programme tomorrow.”
