The summer testing ban came to a close today as all ten Formula One teams descended on the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza for a three day test.
Hot off the heels of Valencia's debut Grand Prix which saw Nico Rosberg claim a point for the team, Nico was once again back in action for the first day of testing. Under hot and sunny conditions at Italy's famous track, Nico set the third quickest time of the day behind Massa's Ferrari and Kovalainen's McLaren with a 1:23.461 while covering a total of 60 laps of the 5.793km track.
Dickie Stanford, Test Team Manager, Williams F1:
“Nico Rosberg opened our three day test at Monza today. It’s been a productive day, with the team concentrating on set-up evaluations ahead of the race here in a couple of weekend’s time. We experienced no major problems and Nico will continue testing tomorrow.”
