Friday practice BMW WilliamsF1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya would be down in
twelfth position as he found the going tough finding the right setup for his
FW26. Juan Pablo would comment on the day by saying " it’s clear that there
is still some work to do."
Prior
to the commencement of the opening Friday practice Juan Pablo would also
comment about the situation within the BMW WilliamsF1 that would see them
struggle in the first four races against their rivals Ferrari, who would win
all four races.
For Juan Pablo the
frustration of this situation was apparent in his comments regarding the
pace of development with the WilliamsF1 team. Juan Pablo indicated that the
team is no where near its goals that they had set prior to the seasons
start.
Juan Pablo said: "This year the team set up quite high goals and we are
miles away. Maybe by the end of the season we will be quite strong but we
need something sooner rather than later. At the moment we have nothing new
and radical coming in terms of development. We are just doing little bits,
bit by bit. We are improving, but the Ferrari just looks incredible."
But not only has the WilliamsF1 team having to cope with the pace of the
Ferrari but they are also having to deal with a BAR team that is gaining
momentum and also challenging WilliamsF1.
Juan Pablo added: "It is frustrating in some ways and not frustrating in
others. It is frustrating for the wins but the team is still doing a good
job and we are still up there taking podiums. If you look at the first three
races we were quicker than BAR, but they could come strong here." |
