Williams Duo Pleased with Friday Work

Juan Pablo Montoya was pleased with his day's work following Friday's practice for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Williams looked strong in the first session, with Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya third and Spanish stand-in Marc Gene fourth quickest in his second race in a row as a replacement for injured Ralf Schumacher.

But things got worse in the afternoon, with Montoya finishing in 11th place. Despite that, the Williams driver remained positive.

"We made some good evaluation tests today. Track conditions were changing quite a lot throughout the sessions but nevertheless we went through our scheduled programme and I can say I am reasonably happy with the balance of my car," said the Colombian.

"Weather has been better than yesterday, even if still quite cold, and I definitely hope for some more dry running tomorrow."

Gene was also happy with his day after posting the seventh quickest time in the second session.

"All in all it was a positive day," said Gene. "We have been working on tyre evaluation like everyone today and we also made some set-up changes.

"The car did not always behave as expected though, so we need to sit down now and carefully go through the data we have collected, in order to have a better understanding of the situation. What tyre we I will use for qualifying and in the race is still undecided at the moment."
