Williams driver Pastor Maldonado posted the fastest time this morning with a fastest time of 1m 22.391s. The Venezuelan completed 52 laps as Williams continue to rack up the mileage on their brand new supply pf Renault engines. The Grove based team endured their worst season last year since their entry into the sport. The team made sweeping changes over the winter and over the course of last season. Sam Michael stepped down from his role at the team and joined rivals McLaren. Meanwhile co-founder of the team Patrick Head resigned from the team.
Williams have brought in ex McLaren designer Mike Coghlan to help turn the team around. Michael Schumacher was second fastest while it was another great start for Toro Rosso as F1 newcomer Jean - Eric Vergne was fifth quickest. Meanwhile Mark Webber was down in seventh for RedBull Racing.
I will have another update later at the conclusion of today's action.
