The FW30 had a successful debut today at Spain's Valencia circuit. The team's new test driver, Nico Hulkenberg, was behind the wheel for the day's installation running with only Renault's Fernando Alonso for company.

Race drivers, Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima, will return to the track tomorrow to take over development work.

Test Times:
N Hulkenberg 1:14.559 (2nd) 20 laps

Sam Michael, Technical Director:
Today was an installation day for the FW30. We got through most of the items on our job list and managed to do plenty of system checks. The car is now ready for testing proper tomorrow when Nico will be driving. Overall, it was a productive first day for the FW30.
