Wednesday afternoon in Barcelona saw Williams rookie Lance Stroll drive the FW40 for the first time since a heavy accident forced the team to give up a day's running last week.
It proved to be a hectic afternoon for Williams, which is now fighting to compensate for the mileage, and data, lost due to the crash. Even so, however, Stroll ended it feeling highly satisfied with his own work.
"I am quite happy with the afternoon and pleased with the morning watching Felipe do some running," he reported. "I think it was a good day. As a team we got a lot of laps in, so we have a lot of positives to take out of today.
"We did some short runs, and tried some different compounds. I went to the softer compounds today. I tried the supersofts but still have the ultrasoft remaining that I haven't tried. It was good to get a feel for them for the first time."
Stroll then said that he was focused on completing Williams' testing programmes with that afternoon's running, and that he was not searching for outright performance and pace.
"I am not really focused on lap times, as it is testing and we are exploring a lot of different things on the car and trying to move forward.
"I am just happy with getting some good running in, trying some stuff on the car and moving in the right direction. That is what we are focusing on over these few days, and so far so good."
