For the BMW
WilliamsF1 team the second day of their Silverstone Test was again hampered
by rain but it dried out in the afternoon, allowing the team to work through
their test programme.
Joining Mark Webber at the circuit was the teams new test driver Nico
Rosberg. Nico had already tested with the team but on that occasion Nico was
not employed a a team test driver.
For Mark his day was spent on evaluating various setups of the FW27 as well
as conducting tyre test for tyre supplier Michelin. For Nico his day would
see him familiarized himself with the FW27. Part of this would see him
carry out a number of practice pitstops.
Mark would complete 101 laps, with a best time of 1m:20.121. Nico completed 57 laps setting a best
time of 1m:21.843.
WilliamsF1 Test Team Manager
Tim Newton commented: "On the second day at
Silverstone circuit, Mark Webber completed just over one hundred laps while
carrying out a range of tyre tests in preparation for the Spanish GP next
weekend. Meanwhile Nico Rosberg, the team’s new second test driver, made a
solid debut today, registering nearly 300 kilometers. As he hasn’t driven
the FW27 before, Nico spent the session acclimatising himself and carrying
out systems checks.“ |
