Williams Valencia Test Report: Day Three

Sam Michael, Technical Director: Wednesday, with Nico, we worked on putting as much mileage as wecould on the FW32 and achieved over 500kms at the end of the day, bringing us to a test total of1,213.5kms. We spent the three days working on set-up and long runs; the main systems on the carare proving reliable and are cooling sufficiently. There are the inevitable minor teething problems toresolve between now and Jerez, but it's been good to get out on track and start work with our newengine partner, Cosworth.

Nico Hulkenberg: We covered a lot of mileage today, which is good and allowed me to get used tothe car, and my first impressions are all positive. We did a lot of long runs on heavy fuel loads whichhave given us a good baseline, but we need to keep on working.
