Webber & Heidfeld complete day two at Silverstone

On a dry but overcast day the BMW WilliamsF1 team continued their three day Silverstone test with regular drivers Mark Webber and Nick Heidfeld sharing the testing duties. The team focused on further preparations for the next series of races.

At the end of the day Nick would complete ninety one laps, with a personal best time of 1m:20.949. Mark would complete seventy five laps with a best time of 1m:21.099. Both drivers would spend their days focusing on tyre tests for supplier Michelin, evaluation of setups for the race in Canada, as well as further system testing involving practice race starts. This was aimed at the further improvement of the FW27's traction control system. The team will conclude testing on Friday, where Mark will be joined by team test driver Nico Rosberg.

WilliamsF1 Test Team Manager Tim Newton commented: "Both drivers did tyre tests for the race at Silverstone in July, testing the prime and option compounds. They also evaluated some aero parts for Montreal as well as testing brake and suspension set-up. We’re looking forward to some more good weather tomorrow for our last day here.“
