Maldonado: Williams taking big strides

Pastor Maldonado reckons the Williams-Renault FW34 with which he set the fastest time of the third day's testing at Barcelona has improved significantly since he last drove it at Jerez. The Venezuelan, whose lap of 1m22.391s was the quickest time recorded by a 2012 car at the Catalan circuit, said the Williams appears to be a genuinely competitive improvement over its predecessor.
