F1 - ATT/Williams F1 - Jerez Test Report - Day 1

Pastor Maldonado completed 14 laps of running on day one in Jerez after a problem early this morning resulted in him losing running time during the day. With 28ºC track temperature, the objective was to put more Mileage on FW33 as well as doing some aero testing. His time of 1:34.968 was set in the final minutes of running today in Spain and the Venezuelan will be back in the car tomorrow for day two of the test.

Sam Michael, Technical Director: It has not been a productive day for us I'm afraid. After the installation lap we had a problem with a bleed screw for the rear wing hydraulic actuator. It is straightforward to correct, however during the day it caused a lot of downtime as we shuffled parts around to get the car out on the track. On the positive side, in the late afternoon we did complete all the aero testing that required the front tyre rake, so that will come off tonight.
