In a move that is mostly aimed at impressing WilliamsF1 management in the run up to the German Grand Prix WilliamsF1 test driver Antonio Pizzonia set the quickest time on the second days of the teams test at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit.

Pizzonia is in contention to fill the vacant seat of Ralf Schumacher as Ralf still recovers from his USA Grand Prix injuries. Pizzonia was again joined by Marc Gene.

In ideal conditions Pizzonia would set the quickest time of the week so far with a lap of 1m:17.388. He would again leave his team-mate behind in the times with Marc over second behind. Both Antonio and Marc would spend their days working through the teams test programme. Marc would focus on set-ups in the morning followed by tyre testing. Antonio spent his day tyre testing. Marc would complete eighty eight laps with a best time of of 1:18.454m. Pizzonia would complete eighty four laps.

WilliamsF1 Test Team Manager Tim Newton commented on the days testing. He said: "We continued our preparation work for the three forthcoming races today, with both Marc and Antonio focusing on the usual set-up work and tyre evaluation tests. Both drivers also performed some traction control and systems checks as well as carrying out radiator and cooling comparisons.”

Tomorrow is the final day of testing, with Marc and Antonio present again.
