Sam Michael
Technical Director WilliamsF1 "Today
was a good day’s work from the team to get through all of our programme,
which included checking new aero parts, set-up and evaluating drag
level. We had one issue in the morning with a gearbox input shaft
failure on Rubens’ car that cost him P1, but he recovered well in P2 to
get through the items he wanted to test. On Nico's car, we ran a solid
program all day. Now we're looking at set-up for tomorrow afternoon and
we expect it will be a tight session."
