Zoom Nakajima did most of the running this week

The Williams team wrapped up a very hot and humid four-day test at Jerez today. Test driver Nico Hulkenberg drove for the first day, completing set-up work and onboard systems checks on Tuesday's opening session.

Hukenberg handed the car over to the team's two race drivers, Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima, for the next three days of driving duties. Today, Nakajima signed a sixth-quickest lap of the Jerez circuit in 1:19.724.

Between the three drivers, the Williams team covered 1,929 kilometres, with Nakajima counting for nearly half that amount.

Rod Nelson, Chief Operations Engineer:
"Over the four days, the team completed some extensive testing on the latest generation of Bridgestone slick tyres adding to the knowledge base required to optimise the cars for the new regulations in 2009. Back on this year's grooved rubber, both (race) drivers then did some work on systems and set-ups in preparation for next weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix where we expect similar weather."
