WilliamsF1 completes Barcelona Test

The BMW WilliamsF1 team wound up their five day test at the Circuit de Catalunya. Juan Pablo Montoya replaced Ralf Schumacher for the days testing. He was joined by test driver Marc Gene and Nico Rosberg. Both Juan Pablo and Marc had FW26's at their disposal.

On a day that was sunny the three WilliamsF1 drivers would finish the day fourth, fifth, and sixth. Marc set the fastest time, with a lap of 1m:16.190. Next came Montoya followed by Rosberg.

The day would again see Marc focusing on mechanical set-ups of the FW26 while Juan Pablo would continue on his race simulation that he had started the previous day. Juan Pablo would complete 800 kilometres, in line with what is required in 2004 over a Grand Prix weekend. Juan Pablo would also conduct practice starts.

Nico Rosberg continued with the FW25, completing eighty one laps while testing gearbox and aerodynamic set-ups.
