The 2010 Williams FW32 has been caught in a spy shot by motorsport publication Autosport, at its first shakedown run ahead of a maiden test at Valencia next week with F1 rookie Nico Hulkenberg at the wheel.

Sam Michael, the Williams technical director, told Autosport:

“The FW32 is a clean-sheet design from front to back,” he said. “It’s pretty much brand new from an aerodynamic point of view.

“The fact that we had a consistent car across all of the tracks in 2009, and wiped out a lot of the vices that we had in the previous car, gives us confidence.”
