WilliamsF1 moves to Monza for three day test

The WilliamsF1 team would move to the Monza circuit for a three day test in the lead up to the Italian Grand Prix. On a warm and dry day, Mark Webber and Alex Wurz conducted tests evaluating a new aerodynamic package for the Monza race as well as tyres for the same event.

Mark would finish the day in third with a best time of 1m:22.743, completing ninety laps. He would a productive day despite having problems with his brakes. For Alex his day would see him down in eleventh but this was due to him focusing on tyre constructions.

WilliamsF1 Test Team Manager Mike Condliffe commented: “We returned to Monza today after a month’s break from testing and ahead of the race here in 12 days’ time. All the teams are here - while not all of them went out today, it was still busy on track. Our main objective this week is to test a new aero package specifically designed for this track and to select our tyres for the race. We started the three day test with some initial set-up work on the new aero package and then moved on to tyre testing with both Mark and Alex. Tomorrow, Nico joins Mark on track.”
