Williams Jerez test notes 2006-02-07

Comments from the Williams team after the first day of testing at Jerez

Sam Michael, Technical Director, WilliamsF1 Team:

"Today, Nico and Alex started off the Jerez test, both in FW28s. The drivers worked on mechanical set-up all day and found some interesting directions to pursue for the rest of the test. Mark and Nico will be driving tomorrow and will each spend half the day carrying out pit-stop practices with the race team crew."

Alex Wurz:

"Today, I drove the FW28 for the first time. I soon familiarised myself with the new characteristics, which my lap times showed, and I feel quite comfortable with it already."

"Nevertheless, I am a perfectionist and that means that we need to do some more work to extract more out of our package. The basic elements are there, now it's just a race against time to optimise everything before the season opener. We'll be pushing flat
