The second day of the AT&T Williams teams four day test at the Jerez circuit was run under dry conditions but for Nico Hulkenberg his session was hampered by some mechanical issues with his FW32. His car spent the majority of the morning session in the garage. Nico was only able to complete 67 laps although he did set the fourth fastest time of the day with a 1m:20.629.

HulkenbergSam Michael, Technical Director:
"We had some mechanical problems with the hydraulic system and the driveline today. We had a leak first thing this morning, which we identified relatively quickly, but it took us a long time to correct because the clutch was covered with hydraulic fluid. That effectively ruled us out of most of the morning session. We encountered a smaller issue this afternoon with a driveshaft component. It was quicker to rectify, but obviously wasn’t ideal in terms of track time. We still made our way through three or four set-up changes and we'll just have to target higher mileage tomorrow with Rubens."

Nico Hulkenberg:
"Today was quite a difficult day as we had some technical problems, but I’m still feeling positive about the car. Of course, I would like to have had more running time, but that’s sometimes the way it goes. Overall, it’s been a good two days and the car feels good."
