Day two of testing at Valencia would see BMW WilliamsF1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya set the fastest time of the day with a lap of 1m10.782s, three tenths ahead of  McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen. Juan Pablo would complete eighty two laps.

The day would see Juan Pablo focus focus on testing different tyre combinations. He would only complete at the most five timed laps before he came back to the pit in order to give the technicians a chance to analyse the latest results.

Team mate Marc Gené would also complete a large number of laps, seventy six. His fastest lap was a 1m:12.338. Marc did not only test different tyres, but also conducted tests regarding the adjustment of the set up of the WilliamsF1 BMW FW24.

WilliamsF1 Test Team Manager Tim Newton commented on the days testing by saying:: "Juan was driving a FW24 03 and Marc was putting some more useful mileage on the clock of the BMW P83 in a FW24D 01. A general testing day that accumulated a total mileage of 632km with which we were very pleased."
