 Spa 11:07:2007 Day Two
 

The second day of the AT&T Williams teams Spa-Francorchamps test would see Nico Rosberg continue but with the team having to cope with poor weather. Overnight showers would hinder the start of the teams test programme with parts of the track damp in the morning session.

RosbergOver the course of the day it would be a case of trying to work around the poor weather with rain showers affecting the circuit intermittently. This would see Nico Rosberg only get limited running. Nico would set the ninth quickest time of the day with a time of 1m:50.295. The final day will see Alex Wurz replace Nico.

Williams F1 Test Team Manager Dickie Stanford commented: "The whole session was severely hampered by rain today. We spent most of the day carrying out our usual set-up preparations just waiting for dry spells and the opportunity to send the car out. As a result, we lost a lot of track time. Alex
will take over from Nico tomorrow so we will spend the evening converting the
car and praying for better weather for our last day in Spa!”
