Nakajima wraps up Williams Silverstone Test
 
  Silverstone Test 26:06:2008 Day Three
 

Thursday would see the AT&T Williams team wrap up its three-day test at Silverstone with Kazuki Nakajima replacing Nico Rosberg for the final day. Kazuki would complete the team's work on setup's for next week's British Grand Prix.

The wind was strong for the second day running, so this made the work on aerodynamics difficult but the team was able to complete most of their test programme. In total the team has completed close to 1,200 kilometres, over the three days.

TEAM QUOTES
Sam Michael, Technical Director:
“This week at Silverstone we worked on different mechanical and aerodynamic set-ups, initially with Nico and then with Kazuki. Although it was quite windy, the weather was generally good over the three days. We managed to cover the majority of our test programme in preparation for the Grand Prix here.”

Nico Rosberg:
“It was a very important test for us after our experience at Magny-Cours. We put a great deal of effort into understanding what happened in France, and ran through quite an extensive test programme over the three days. We managed to work through a lot of items and have come away with a good understanding of some crucial elements which will help us going into the short and medium terms. Overall, it was a very useful test. Looking forward to the race at Silverstone, it’ll be very tight as usual because the top six places are always taken, but we will go out there and do our best.”
