SPANISH GRAND PRIX - FREE PRACTICE
FRIDAY MAY 11th, 2007
Friday’s free practice sessions for the Spanish Grand Prix proved routine today for the AT&T Williams team as race drivers, Nico Rosberg and Alex Wurz, evaluated set-up options and completed tyre comparisons. The pair piloted the FW29s in both the morning and afternoon sessions to afford them maximum preparation time ahead of qualifying and the race. Under clear Spanish skies at the Circuit de Catalunya, the team covered a total distance of 512kms.
Nico Rosberg:
We made a good start today and everything went well. We tried various directions
on the set-up to adapt to the track conditions here and, as always, some things
proved to be not particularly valuable while others looked quite promising. All in all, I think we achieved some interesting results. We also tested the tyres and found
some pretty clear results there too, although we are not too sure which tyre we will
go with for the long runs.
Alex Wurz:
Everything went to plan today while we worked through different set-up options and
tyre comparisons. The only thing that perhaps didn’t go to plan was that, every time I went out on new tyres, I ended up caught up in traffic so I’m further down the time
sheets than I should be. It’s Friday, though, so it doesn’t matter too much.
Patrick Head, Director of Engineering:
We’ve been playing catch up today after a test where we didn’t get a lot done due to
two accidents and a wet day’s running. We ran both cars through the different set-up
variations which we’d planned to do last week. The guys working on the car, the
engineers and the drivers have all done a great job to get through a busy
programme and now we have a lot of data to get through tonight and decide which
direction to take. The car seems to be running well and we hope to get back on
course for a good result on Sunday.
