Nakajima hopes aero updates will work in Spain

Williams F1 driver Kazuki Nakajima is looking forward to his first Formula 1 race at Circuit de Catalunya. Last season the Japanese driver qualified himself in fifth position for the Spanish Grand Prix in the GP2 series. He now hopes to do well at the track near Barcelona this weekend.

Speaking about the upcoming race 23-year-old Nakajima said: "We have some aero updates on the car for Barcelona, which we spent last week testing, and they should bring us some gains performance-wise. Personally, I like the Circuit de Catalunya. I had a good result there when I raced in GP2 last year and I hope I can do well in my debut Spanish Grand Prix. My engineer, Xevi Pujolar, is from Spain, so it's technically going to be one of our home races, so I'm hoping I can get him a good result!"
