Williams complete Monza test.
The Williams-BMW Team completed the final day of a three-day test at Monza today with Juan Pablo Montoya driving.
Williams' Technical Director, Patrick Head, was in Monza to oversee the test. Montoya said: "We were meant to do quite a lot of running but lost a bit of track time due to an engine related problem, nothing major, but we learnt quite a lot again. We managed to complete just about everything we had planned. All in all I thought it was a pretty good test"

Sam Michael - Williams' Chief Operations Engineer - added: "Today Juan Pablo (Montoya) finished off preparation work for the Canadian Grand Prix, mainly working on brakes and tyres. It was a relatively successful test and very useful going to Monza in preparation for the low downforce tracks. The test team have been flat-out covering tests at both Magny-Cours and Monza this week, which has been a very impressive effort."
BMW's Motorsport director Dr Mario Theissen concluded: "For this last day we concentrated on tyre and brake testing in readiness for Montreal. We did a precautionary engine change due to a drop in oil pressure."
