Williams Racing Bahrain Test 13:03:2021 Day Two

March 14 2021

With Nicholas Latifi carrying out the driving duties the Williams Racing team would complete their second day of the 2021 Bahrain F1 Pre-season test. It was a productive day with Nicholas completing 132 laps in a variety of conditions and using a variety of tyres. Nicholas would finish the day 7th in the times posting a time using the C4 soft tyre. Nichols would have a few moments on the track where he was to spin most likely due to the tricky wind conditions on the day. Again the team was able to gather a lot of data as it works towards understanding the FW43B.

Drivers: Nicholas Latifi
Chassis / Engine: FW43B-01 / Mercedes-AMG F1 M12 E Performance
Location: Bahrain International Circuit, Bahrain, 5.412 km
Weather: Warm, sandy and dry 

Dave Robson, Senior Race Engineer: We had a busy day, completing 132laps without any major issues. The track changed throughout the day making comparisons difficult, but we were still able to complete some useful work. It was good for Nicholas to get a trouble-free day and to experience the car in a range of conditions and on a range of tyres. It looks like the weather will be a bit different again tomorrow when George will be in the car to complete our pre-season testing. We still have a lot to do, but we are confident that we can have another productive today tomorrow and get ourselves into the best possible position for the first race. 

Nicholas Latifi: It was great to get some proper running back behind the wheel. It was nice to push the car in the dry and knock the dust off from the winter. It was a tricky day with the wind, but it was good to get some running in these conditions as there was lots to learn. As is normal in pre-season testing, there were a few half-spins as I was pushing to see what the limits were. I think we can be happy with the number of laps we completed today, and we now have a lot of data to analyse to be as prepared as possible for the first race of the season.

The FW43B returns to the track tomorrow for the final day of testing in Bahrain with George Russell in the car.
