Gene to drive at Silverstone
 
It was announced by the BMW WilliamsF1 team that test driver Marc Gene would replace Ralf Schumacher for this weekends British Grand Prix.

"I am very much looking forward to Silverstone," said Gene. "Although everything went well for me at Magny-Cours, I will be using that experience to help me improve my race performance at Silverstone. We've spent a lot of time testing at Silverstone in the past so I'm confident when I say that the track suits the FW26.

"We've always achieved competitive lap times there so I hope we can do the same over the Grand Prix weekend. It would also be good to score some points as it's WilliamsF1's home race and many of the guys from the factory will be there."
