In what is the final test of 2008 the AT&T Williams team returned to the Jerez circuit for a further three days of testing. On the first day test driver Nico Hulkenberg would complete the test schedule, on a cold but sunny day. Early in the day the track was damp.

HulkenbergThe team would continue their set-up work, including aero optimisation and slick tyre development in preparation for the 2009 season. Nico would continue to use the modified FW30B this week.

On his first day back in the cockpit for a some time, Nico clocked the fifth fastest time of the session with a 1:20.704 and covered 442.8km of the 4.428km circuit.

Williams F1 Test Team Manager Dickie Stanford commented: “Nico Hulkenberg started our three day test in Jerez this week and continued work on our winter development programme. Despite a damp track this morning which restricted our time on track, Nico completed 100 laps of tyre testing and had no technical issues. Kazuki takes over the FW30B tomorrow for the remaining two days of the test.”
