Today was the first day of a two-day test for the BMW
WilliamsF1 Team at the 'Circuito de Jerez', Spain. Antonio Pizzonia was the team's sole representative as it prepared for the
forthcoming races in Malaysia, Bahrain and San Marino.
In fairly good conditions, with air temperatures reaching 20°C, the
Brazilian completed 78 laps, setting a best time of 1:18.135 minutes.
Tim Newton (Test Team Manager, WilliamsF1): “Our
main focus today was evaluating our cooling specification for the particular conditions expected in Malaysia the weekend after next,
as well as looking at braking set-up in preparation for Bahrain and Imola, which are demanding braking tracks, and finally, testing
tyre compounds.”
