Maldonado hails new Williams

The new Williams FW35 is a big improvement on its Formula 1 predecessor, according to the team's lead driver Pastor Maldonado. The 2012 Spanish Grand Prix winner gave the new car its first run in pre- season testing on Tuesday, completing 86 laps. With the test taking place at Barcelona, the scene of Maldonado's remarkable victory last year, the Venezuelan said the team had reliable data to compare the new car with the FW34 and that progress was clear to see.
