Further tyre testing for WilliamsF1 at Valencia

The second day of the WilliamsF1 teams test at the Valencia Circuit in Spain would again see Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg in action. Both drivers would spend the day conducting tyre test for tyre supplier Bridgestone.

Nico and Mark would finish the day with the fifth and sixth fastest times respectively. Mark would have a gearbox problem while Nico would cause a red flag period during the day due to a mechanical problem out on the circuit.

In an interview for autosport.com Mark spoke of his desire to get the season under way to see exactly where the new FW28 stood.

Mark said: "It is getting better but we still have work to do. I know I want to do more testing but I want to start the races to see where we are exactly. This is the last day for me, it is coming so soon, yet I want to see where we are."

WilliamsF1 Technical Director Sam Michael commented on the days testing. He said: “Today’s session in Valencia was the last day of testing for our race drivers before the race season starts in Bahrain. Mark and Nico both worked on tyre testing, while Nico also did some brake cooling work. We had a small problem with the gearbox on Mark's car which was the only hindrance as it cost us some downtime during the day. Alex will drive tomorrow to conclude our winter testing programme.”
