Barcelona Test Test 12:04:200 Day Two

For the WilliamsF1 team day two at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain would see Mark Webber join Nico Rosberg continue the teams testing in preparation for the next Grand Prix at San Marino. Again the team was working on improving their reliability.

It would be a clear day and at the finish Mark would set the eighth fastest time with a 1m:15.691, while Nico was down in fourteenth with a time of 1m:15.968. Mark and Nico would complete eighty six and fifty six laps respectively. For both drivers it would not be a day free of problems as both were to suffer engine problems which would see both drivers stop out on the circuit.

WilliamsF1 Test Team Manager Mike Condliffe said: “Nico continued testing today and was joined by Mark in good conditions at Barcelona. We had a very varied programme testing some new mechanical parts for reliability and performance, as well as some more aero parts. Mark continued the afternoon session with the tyre evaluation test series that we started yesterday.”
