Williams runs in the sun.
Contrary to popular belief, the Williams team will not be testing at Silverstone this week, heading instead for the warmer climes of Estoril.
The Grove outfit will begin a three-day private test at the newly re-opened Portuguese facility today [Wednesday], with Jenson Button behind the wheel for the first two sessions. Estoril has been chosen not only for its weather, however, but also for its characteristics, which mimic those found at Austria's A1-Ring which hosts the next round of the championship.

Test driver Bruno Junqueira will join the team over the weekend to take part in a promotional photo-shoot for engine supplier BMW, while Ralf Schumacher is expected to replace Button the final day of running after flying in from Germany. There he entertained members of the Race Club to a day's karting activity at the local Schumacher circuit in Bispingen.
