Jerez Test 18:07:2006 Day One
 

Day one of the WilliamsF1's four day Jerez test would see Alex Wurz continue with teams development programme for the FW28. The team would work towards finding a solution to their tyre problems at the recent French Grand Prix.

It would be a dry and sunny all day on which only three cars took to the track. Alex would finish the day third fastest. Alex would spend his day focusing on mechanical set-up, primarily in the suspension. The team is confident that they have sorted out the issue.

WilliamsF1 Test Team Manager Mike Condliffe commented: “Alex resumed testing today at Jerez at a relatively empty track. We started with some useful suspension work this morning followed by tyre construction tests this afternoon. It will be much busier tomorrow with a full pit lane. Alex will again be at the wheel of the FW28.”
