The third day of the AT&T Williams Jerez test would be the final day behind the wheel for Nico Rosberg. Nico would continue the development work on the FW31. The day would see wet conditions in the morning but the weather would improve allowing the team some valuable dry running. He would complete a 125 laps during the course of the day. Kazuki Nakajima takes over the driving duties for day four.

For the AT&T Williams team the third day of the teams five day Jerez test would see a return to sunnier conditions after a day of wet weather. The showers stopped shortly before the start of testing and after around two hours the track would dry out allowing dry running for the rest of the day.
Williams F1 Technical Director Sam Michael commented: “Nico had his last day in the car this week and concluded his run with set-up work for the majority of the day. He then carried out some aero and mechanical tests. It was quite wet on track this morning but it then dried out for the afternoon session which allowed us to get some good track time in. Kazuki will take over tomorrow.” |
