Jerez Test 15:12:2005 Day Two
 

The second day of testing for the WilliamsF1 team at the Jerez circuit would see Nico Rosberg return, joining Mark Webber. Nico and Mark would finish the day in eleventh and thirteenth places after suffering a less than productive day with a  variety of problems.

RosbergThe team continued with the development of Cosworth’s latest V8 in the interim FW27 chassis. The problems that the drivers would suffer would limit their track time with Nico and Mark only completing forty eight and twenty six laps respectively. Both drivers would also suffer several off track moments.

Nico would bring out the first red flag of the day when he was to suffer and engine failure in the morning. Mark would  spin off the track after suffering a suspected gearbox problem.
