Jerez Test 13:12:2006 Day One
 

The WilliamsF1 team would return to the Jerez circuit for their final test of 2006. The test is over three days and on the first day it would be test driver Kazuki Nakajima  who had the driving duties.

KakajimaIt would be a bright and sunny day, a contrast to the first day that Kazuki had at Jerez. He would complete ninety five laps  with a best time of 1m:20.859. It was another day of completing more mileage aiming to become more familiar with a F1 car. He was aiming to complete enough laps to allow him to obtain his super licence, which he did.

WilliamsF1 Test Team Manager Mike Condliffe commented: “Kazuki was driving on our first day back in Jerez and weather conditions were much more favourable than on his first run last Friday. The aim was for him to complete a sufficient number of laps to be able to qualify for a super licence, which he comfortably achieved. Towards the end of the session, Kazuki practised starts to familiarise himself with the procedure. He has had a very successful day and should be very pleased with his performance.”
