Williams expects tough fight for points
22 April 2008Following its return from Bahrain, the Williams team and its drivers, Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima, have spent four days testing aero and mechanical updates at Barcelona and is well prepared for making the short journey to Spain again this week for round four of the FIA Formula One World Championship.
"Barcelona is a great test of aerodynamic efficiency, engine power and chassis balance," said Williams technical director Sam Michael. "We have tested at Barcelona throughout the winter, and as recently as last week, during which time we've fine tuned set-up and brought some aerodynamic and mechanical developments to the car. Bridgestone will bring two tyres from the harder end of the compound range for this race and strategy tends to lean towards two stops because the high speed corners make a one stop option too difficult."
The team is determined to keep scoring points as it lies fourth in the constructors' championship but is conscious that the midfield will be very close and getting in the points a tough challenge.
"With the cars demonstrating good reliability now, our target for Barcelona is to continue improving our performance and getting points in order to build upon our position in the Constructors' Championship, but it will be a tough battle," he added.
