Juan Pablo left the track at high speed crashing into the barriers, ending his running for the day as his car could not be repaired. With the damage to his car he will not be taking part in the final day of testing. Thankfully he was not injured in the accident. On his official web site Juan Pablo discussed his accident.

Juan Pablo said: “When I turned right for the second Becketts the car was over steering a bit and suddenly it was gone. I think I was doing around 300 (kilometers per hour) when I went off and then I crashed into the tyres at about 205-270. The HANS worked really well and actually hold my head because the impact was very hard. I ended up underneath the tyre barrier and it took some time for me to get out of the car. Now I’m fine. Just a bit sore in my back and elbows.”

He added: “The car was very good. Both days I was quickest and the car is improving all the time. Today I went to visit the factory to see how things are going.”

The day was again dry and sunny allowing the team to continue with its test programme of setup work, tyre testing, and reliability testing.

Juan Pablo Montoya would only complete twenty eight laps of the circuit, with his best lap time been a 1m21.410, this been the fastest. This was almost one second quicker than Jordan's Ralph Firman who set a time of 1m:22.383s.

Juan Pablo was again joined by Marc Gene. Marc spent his day focusing on tyre and chassis testing. He would set a best time of 1m:22.727, completing forty two laps.

WilliamsF1 Test Team Manager Tim Newton spoke of the days testing. He said: 
“Part of the purpose of testing is to discover the car’s boundaries prior to lining it up on the grid for a Grand Prix. Fortunately, Juan is perfectly ok but the car requires some work before it hits the race track again. Not withstanding Juan’s accident, we’re happy with today’s progress. Positive steps were made with regards to chassis and gearbox development so we’re looking forward to tomorrow’s session when Marc will concentrate on some long distance running.“
