Monday’s testing review
February 28th, 2006
Williams had a strong showing at Valencia on day 1. They were the only team to use their race drivers and Nico managed to outpace de la Rosa’s McLaren by 2/10ths although PdlR was putting in a mammoth 146 laps in an attempt to ascertain the Mercedes’ reliability. Webber was less than 1/10th slower than the McLaren in 3rd place. Renault’s Heikki Kovalainen was just another tenth behind Webber with McLaren’s Gary Paffett doing fuel consumption testing which resulted in a red flag when he intentionally ran out of fuel.
