Rosberg fastest again at Barcelona
Williams' Nico Rosberg set the pace for the second day running in testing at the Barcelona circuit, where the British squad and Spyker are carrying out their final preparations for the start of the season
Rosberg, at the wheel of the Toyota-powered FW29, finished ahead of teammate Alex Wurz as he focused on mapping and set-up work. Wurz spent the day doing long runs and completed a race distance.
Meanwhile, the Spyker team worked with their two racing drivers Christijan Albers and Adrian Sutil, the Dutchman's day being hindered by a hydraulic leak that cut his running short.
"We had a reasonably productive day, working on the basic set-up and building up speed over a race distance," said chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne. "Adrian had no issues during the day, however Christijan's car developed a hydraulic leak that cut his race run short.
"It's not a major issue though and we should be back out tomorrow. This morning was a bit cooler and we had some problems trying to get the tyres to work, but we've got a handle on how to better the situation."
