Jerez Test 16:12:2005 Day Three
 

WilliamsF1 completed their final day of testing before the Christmas break today. Narain Karthikeyan joined Nico Rosberg before the testing ban which runs until January 9, 2006.

RosbergNarain struggled through a difficult day, causing two of the three red flags seen during the day. He would suffer engine problems that saw the team change the unit. Nico also had his fair share of problems, including an oil leak that saw him sit out proceedings in the garage while his mechanics fixed the problem.

Despite the difficulties Nico would be encouraged by the fact that he was only three tenths behind the leading V8 runner Michael Schumacher.
