Williams fixes front wing problem

Williams is confident it has fixed the front wing problem which caused Kazuki Nakajima to suffer a high-speed crash at Barcelona testing last week. The Toyota-powered team resumed testing at Jerez on Monday and had no further problems.

"We ran two cars on the first day of this week's Jerez test, with both the race drivers working through the test programme," said Williams technical director Sam Michael. "After signing off the revision to the front wing mounting system, we proceeded to work on mechanical set-up and long runs for reliability. We had no major issues and both Nico and Kazuki will continue with the programme tomorrow."
