The new Williams fueled by great hopes according to Rosberg
Nico Rosberg believes that the Williams team has made a significant advancement with their new FW30, but he refuses to be overly optimistic about the car's encouraging performance during the Valencia tests this week.
The German was on pace with the two Ferraris yesterday during day 2 of testing, and believes that the team has made a new step forward in the pursuit of performance this year.
But although he is satisfied with his first impressions of the car, Rosberg is determined to contain his excitement and maintain this momentum.
« My first impression was positive when I drove the car. I immediately felt that this new single-seater is a great step forward, right from the moment I exited the pits. It’s a good step forward, » he said.
« But I don’t mean to say, ‘wow, it’s incredible’! Because there’s no point in saying it. It’s the beginning and we must wait. »
Rosberg acknowledged that in the long term, the car is probably encouraging, but some doubts remain.
The car is not always easy to drive. For the moment, we have some questions that we need to resolve which have been present since day one.
« But I am happy. The long runs seem good and it’s very promising, » the German concluded.
