The German young driver Nico Hulkenberg is confirmed as AT&T Williams team's official test driver in the upcoming and exciting 2008 Formula One season.
According to my source, the young driver who recently tested for the team in Jerez last week made a great impression and accomplished with maturity over the past two days and 425 kms of development work.
"The two days of Formula One testing with the AT&T Williams team last week in Jerez were the realisation of an ambition that has driven me ever since my first kart race back in 1997,” stated Nico.
"When I actually got out on track in the FW29, it fulfilled every expectation and more. So to have represented myself sufficiently well to have been appointed as the team's official test driver is the most amazing news and for me, Christmas has come early."
Sam Michael, the Williams Technical Director, said, "Nico has been through the rigours of our driver assessment programme culminating in his two day test in Jerez last week. Clearly he has shown demonstrable talent in the junior formulae, but it was important for us to see if he could make the step to Formula One. On the evidence we have so far, Nico is a quick and capable driver."
