For the WilliamsF1 team Nico Rosberg and Alex Wurz would share the driving duties. But the morning session would be hampered by rain. It would improve in the afternoon to allow the team to get in some dry running.

Alex would also complete some testing of new front suspension setups. Alex would finish ahead of Nico with the drivers in sixth and eighth positions. Alex would set a best time of 1m:22.216 while Nico's time was a 1m:22.256.

WilliamsF1 Test Team Manager Mike Condliffe commented on the days testing by saying: “Today Nico and Alex were driving in damp and drizzly conditions in the morning, but the weather dried out in the afternoon. Alex continued with some front suspension geometry work, which we have been working on over the last few tests, as well as some re-start procedures. Both drivers evaluated a new tyre casing, while Nico also completed an initial tyre compound test this afternoon which will lead to a more in depth test later in the week. In conclusion, we have had a very productive day here at Silverstone.”
