`We’ll be pushing flat out`Alex Wurz set the pace for Williams Cosworth today in testing at Jerez as he drove the new FW28 for the first time. The Austrian test driver was very upbeat following his first outing in the latest challenger.
“I soon familiarised myself with the new characteristics, which my lap times showed, and I feel quite comfortable with it already," Wurz said.
"Nevertheless, I am a perfectionist and that means that we need to do some more work to extract more out of our package. The basic elements are there, now it’s just a race against time to optimise everything before the season opener. We’ll be pushing flat out!”
Nico Rosberg was also present today in a second FW28 and set the fourth fastest time.
"The drivers worked on mechanical set-up all day and found some interesting directions to pursue for the rest of the test," explained Technical Director Sam Michel. "Mark and Nico will be driving tomorrow and will each spend half the day carrying out pit-stop practices with the race team crew.”
