Despite finishing quickest on day two, Hulkenberg admitted P1 means nothing without knowing what fuel other drivers are carrying.
“We’ve had a good test here. P1 today is nice but means nothing, to be honest.” Hulkenberg said. “We’re not in Bahrain yet! It’s positive for the team, and for me, to know what the car can do though.”
The times have however given Hulkenberg some confidence come Bahrain: “We did a lot of set-up work today and have found some interesting things so I feel ready and confident to go to Bahrain now.”
Williams brought some new parts to the test which Hulkenberg was set to evaluate, including new sidepods.
“Nico finished his last day of winter testing today with a good run of laps.
“Our programme included the evaluation of a new sidepod, practice starts and some additional work on the set-up of the FW32. We’re making progress, but there’s still plenty to do.” said Williams Technical Director, Sam Michael.
