Webber impressed by Cosworth engine
Australian Mark Webber says the new Cosworth V8 engine powering his Williams car is "bloody good"
Williams have joined forces with Cosworth for the 2006 season after parting ways with German carmaker BMW, who will race under its own name this year.
The team from Grove have shone in this week's test at Jerez, with test driver Alexander Wurz topping the times yesterday. Some of their rivals have been impressed by the performance of the new FW28 and the Cosworth engine at the Spanish circuit.
And Webber has admitted he is delighted with the performance of the power unit.
"We need to work a bit on the balance of the car but Grove did a good job," Webber told autosport.com after today's testing session at Jerez, where he was eighth quickest.
"It is a good car and so far I have had no problems with the gearbox, and the engine is bloody good. We need to tweak a bit but I am quite happy with that."
