Silverstone Test 14-15:09:2005 Test Summary
 

The BMW WilliamsF1 Team would complete their penultimate test session of the 2005 season after their two day test at the Silverstone. The second day would again see test drivers Antonio Pizzonia and Nico Rosberg sharing the driving duties.

Over the two days the pair would complete  over 200 laps of testing. The second day would see the team having to cope with wet conditions in the morning. Both drivers would take the opportunity to test Michelin's wets and intermediate tyres. They would also work on pit stops as well as race starts.

Antonio would complete sixty six laps, with a best time of 1m:20.750. This would be the quickest time of the day. Nico would complete the same number of laps with a best time of 1m:21.152.

WilliamsF1 Technical Director Sam Michael commented on the two days of testing. He said: "Today we finished testing at Silverstone with Antonio and Nico. Most of the day was spent testing intermediate tyres and working through some comparisons for Michelin, but also on traction control and starts. Rain hampered Thursday morning’s session but, towards the end of the day, the track finally dried out which enabled us to finalise some work on Suzuka tyre compounds.“
