Felipe Nasr would complete his final driving duties for Williams being in
the car for the final day of the teams Abu Dhabi test. The team had an
intensive aero programme planned for the day and despite having a control electronics failure in the morning
he would complete eighty two laps setting the eighth fastest time.
In the morning Felipe had completed extensive aero work followed by longer runs
in the afternoon continuing the team evaluations of the 2015 tyre.
Rod Nelson, Chief Test and Support Engineer: We had another productive day.
The morning consisted of aero testing, and the afternoon the focus was on
longer runs comparing the 2014 and 2015 Pirelli tyres. Testing has gone well
over the year, and we are positive going into the winter, although there is
now a lot of work to do now before the test in Jerez. It was good to have
Felipe in the car today and we thank him for his all his work this season.
He has been a positive influence on the team over the year and we wish him
all the best at his new team 2015.
Felipe Nasr: Today was really good day; it’s always nice to drive the FW36
and to have the chance to drive it on the final day of 2014 was very
enjoyable. The focus of the day was on the 2015 tyres and longer runs, and
we learnt a lot about how the tyre wears over a long distance as we covered
nearly a full race distance. I have to say a big thank you to the whole team
for the opportunities they have given me this year and I wish them all the
best for the future.
