The Williams F1
team has
confirmed that its 2014 car will be running at the first 2014 pre-season
test at Jerez in Spain next week.
The team announced on Monday that Valtteri Bottas will give
the new Mercedes-powered FW36 its debut next Tuesday.
The team wrote on its official Twitter page: "We can announce we will be on
track in Jerez. Valtteri Bottas will do days 1 and 2 Felipe Massa days 3 and
4 running our heritage blue livery."
The new car was given its first factory fire-up on Friday night, but is not
expected to run in its full race-livery until the Australian Grand Prix.
Williams is likely to roll out the car in its testing colours for the first
time shortly before Jerez testing begins on January 28.
