Jerez Test Day One

22 July 08

The team's test driver, Nico Hulkenberg, made a return to the cockpit today for the start of a four day test in Jerez this week.

At the 4.428km southern Spanish track, and under extremely hot conditions which saw temperatures reach the mid-thirties, Nico Hulkenberg spent the day setting up the FW30 ahead of round 11 of the season, which will take place in Hungary in less than two week's time.

Nico set the fourth fastest time of the day with a 1:20.953 among a field of eight teams.

Dickie Stanford, Test Team Manager, Williams F1:
“Nico Hulkenberg drove the car today and concentrated on general set-ups. Our running was cut short by a technical problem later on in the afternoon, but we fortunately didn’t lose too much time. Nico Rosberg joins us tomorrow for day two”
