Yesterdays comment form Williams was something like: well we have completed 49 pit stop practices now we are going to try to do some running in the last hour!

Williams has been racking up the miles again this week in testing at Bahrain; after a poor first day with an electronics issue, which knocked out the fuel system, the car has covered 176 laps of the 5.4km Bahrain circuit in the last two days – almost four race distances worth of mileage.

They need to work on all aspects of their competitive approach; last year they were consistently among the slowest at pit stops, for example, giving away seconds to the top teams and even their midfield rivals. This will be a key indicator of a change of approach this year, if they can raise their game in areas such as this.

49 live pit stop practices performed during one of the days in Bahrain.

IMHO it seems Williams isn't run by the chuckle brothers after all...
