2013: FP1: 1:29.443, FP2: 1:28.852

Svih 5 vremena su od najbržeg Williamsa, a to je Maldonado, zanimljivo. Po ovim vremenima iz FP1 ove i prošle sezone nema nikavog napredka, a potpuno novi bolid rađen

IZVORWilliams test 2012 parts on FW35
[ http://www.f1technical.net/images/devel ... ams-fw.jpg ]
Pastor Maldonado was seen running in the Williams FW35 featuring the stepped nose and front wing of last year's FW34. Williams have lost the direction for its aerodynamic development, and as updates do not bring the expected progress, the team is now checking the efficiency of the car with better known elements, such as the 2012 nose cone and a front wing used late in the 2012 season.
Mike Coughlan, the team's technical director said "We were running different parts across the two cars this morning to try to improve our overall performance. We were happy with what we saw with Pastor’s car, but we made some changes this afternoon which didn’t work as we wanted, so we will be comparing the data from this morning to bring back the performance"
Indeed, the car appeared to work well with the older nose, which may point to a problem of airflow interaction between the front end of the car and the leading edge of the floor. Despite the progress, AmuS have learned that the team will be unable to use the 2012 spec elements as they might fail the beefed up front wing strength test.
Ahead of the season, there were already strange things going on at Williams. During winter testing the FW35 sometimes appeared with a lower nose, and other times with a very high nose, similar to the FerrariF138. The team was undecided even then, but denied there was a struggle going on. Instead they mentioned "ongoing evaluations" as the reason. Since then, the team also reverted from their ramp exhausts to a version similar to the 2012 layout.

KLIKValtteri Bottas feels his breakthrough third place on the Montreal grid will be worth little if he cannot turn it into his first Formula 1 point-scoring finish in the Canadian Grand Prix.
The Williams driver was the surprise of qualifying after he put the struggling squad in third position, only behind Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton.
Williams is yet to score a point this year, and while Bottas admitted the result was a boost for the team, he conceded he has to finish the job on Sunday.
"Of course I'm happy but there's no points given in qualifying," said Bottas. "It's nice to be up there but the race is tomorrow and that's what counts in the end.
"But of course it's a much better position to start than in any previous races and even in some of those races we were very close to the points, so it should be a great chance to get some points finally."
Bottas believes the race will prove tough if it is dry, as he is aware that the Williams does not have enough pace over long runs.
"It might be tricky again. If that's the case it's going to be about the right strategy, being at the right time with the right tyre," he said.
"A good start is important and basically after that is about trying to keep as many quick cars behind me as possible because the pace in the dry is still not quite enough for a top 10. So it's going to be tricky."
The Finn has also promised to jump in to the St Lawrence river in celebration if he scores a strong result.
"I'm used to swimming in frozen lakes in Finland, so it's no problem."
