Nico topped the timesheets in the second Friday practice! Kazuki came in second, and both drivers did well in the first practice as well, so it looks like the Williams cars are looking strong here. Here's hoping that their performance stays this strong throughout the weekend; the practice sessions promise so much and never deliver come race day.
From Friday practice - selected team and driver quotes:
Nico Rosberg, P1 - 1:22.667, 6th; P2 - 1:21.588, 1st
"Today was our first run with the new aero components on the car and they all seemed to work well. They're giving us a few tenths extra per lap so we've made definite progress. Everyone has brought new developments here though so we will see how things look in qualifying. We also ran some tyre compares today. It's not obvious which direction will be the right one, so strategy is going to be very important and will have a major impact on the race."
