The AT&T Williams team joined the rest of the grid today for the start of a three day test at Hockenheim. Ahead of the Grand Prix there next weekend, Nico Rosberg opened the team's schedule of set-up work and will continue in the cockpit tomorrow.

Despite some prolonged showers, Nico lapped the 4.574km track 87 times and set the third fastest time of the day with a 1:16.099.

Dickie Stanford, Test Team Manager:
“Today Nico joined us for day one at Hockenheim during which we concentrated on set-up work in preparation for the race here next weekend. The rain interrupted our progress a few times today but we still managed to record 87 laps in the dry. Tomorrow, we will try and finish our programme with Nico before Kazuki arrives for day three on Thursday.”
