Felipe Nasr bids farewell to Williams

Third in the GP2 Series championship behind the Briton Jolyon Palmer, crowned champion in Sochi, and the Belgian Stoffel Vandoorne, the Brazilian Felipe Nasr completed his final laps on Wednesday at the Yas Marina Circuit with Williams as a test pilot. A day which will not be in vain for the future resident of the Swiss Sauber team.

“The focus for the day was on the 2015 tires and long stints, and we learned a lot about how the tire wears and behaves as we covered the equivalent of a distance of race, Nasr explains. I extend a big thank you to the entire team for the opportunities given and I wish them all the best for the future. »

In 2015, Nasr will team up with Swede Marcus Ericsson, for a 100% new pair at Sauber, replacing both Mexican Esteban Gutiérrez and German Adrian Sutil, this year's starters at the wheel of the V33-powered C6 turbo / hybrid Ferrari.
