BELGIAN GRAND PRIX - FREE PRACTICE
FRIDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER 2007
The AT&T Williams team had a somewhat challenging day
at Spa-Francorchamps today, with morning practice times showing
reasonable potential, but more progress is required. In light
of this, the team will be making strenuous efforts overnight
to find the additional performance needed to attempt to maintain
their recent relative competitiveness.
Nico Rosberg:
We had a very difficult test here in July but we have brought
some improvements to the car and they seem to be working better.
However, it was not the best day for us today as we tried
to find some more pace. Unlike the last few races, however,
the tyre choice seems to be pretty clear, so we can concentrate
on other matters. We definitely have some hard work to do
tomorrow morning to try and find a bit more for qualifying.
Alex Wurz:
It was a pretty tough day today and everything seemed to
be difficult with the car and its setup options. We had a
similar set of issues here at the Spa test, so we will have
to work hard to change this. That said, the last few things
we tried at the end of the day seemed to offer a better direction,
so I hope we can undo these knots and make some progress tomorrow.
Sam Michael, Technical Director:
We ran through all of our programme today, although much
of the work on systems we completed at the recent Spa test
anyway. We have a lot of work to do here overnight as we are
not as competitive as we have been in recent races, but we
will see a clearer picture tomorrow. Our focus will be to
get as much performance as we can out of the cars tonight.
