Williams Jerez Test 12:02:2010 Day Three

AT&T Williams driver Rubens Barrichello took over from Nico Hulkenberg for day three of this week's four day test session at the Jerez circuit. The day would start off dry but by 11AM there was wet conditions. Despite the weather Rubens would complete the highest mileage of the day 120 laps.

While on a race simulation Rubens would set a time of 1m:23.217, which put him in eighth position. Rubens will continue the team's set-up work tomorrow for the last day of the test.

Sam Michael, Technical Director:
We went straight into a race run on slick tyres in the morning as we knew we would only have a short window before the rain came. After that, it was a wet programme for the rest of the day. We spent the session working on control strategies, systems checks, race starts and a couple of small set-up changes. We had no mechanical problems.

Rubens Barrichello:
We basically only had a few laps in the dry this morning but then the rest of our running was done in the wet, so it was hard to find where the limit was and evaluate our performance. I’m looking forward to getting back in the car tomorrow and getting some more mileage in."
