Barcelona - Nico Hülkenberg concluded his testing programme with a positive result before the start of the new season. The 22 year old was on top of the time sheet in Barcelona on Friday.

The “Hulk” in his Williams FW 32 completed his best lap in 1:20.614, his time was marginally faster than Fernando Alonso in his Ferrari (1:20.637). “I am not euphoric about that”, said the Emmericher, who didn’t want to overstate the result, “It is important how we come off in Bahrain”.

Nevertheless, one must be cautiously optimistic about the start of the season. “The test drives give reason for pleasant anticipation” the “Hulk” came to the conclusion after seven days of testing in total. “We collected a lot of valuable kilometres and by now I have a really good feeling for the car.”
