Pastor Maldonado says changes on FW35 further aided downforce and handling

Williams driver declares feel of car has only improved further

Image: Pastor Maldonado: Says the exhaust changes have helped deliver more downforce

Pastor Maldonado has delivered an upbeat assessment on the substantial bodywork and exhaust changes Williams rolled out onto the FW35 on Saturday in Barcelona.

Last year's Spanish GP victor, who has cut an upbeat figure throughout all three pre-season tests since driving the FW35 for the first time in southern Spain, added: "It's even more easy this car [with the changes]. We have more downforce. "From the aero point of view it's clear there is some gains on it. We need to work around in the car to try to get the 100% of the package but the engineers are working hard on the data to get all the essentials we have in the car. We will see tomorrow."
