Williams, Honda in action at Vallelunga

The Williams and Honda teams kicked off on Tuesday their preparations for the Monaco Grand Prix, testing at the Vallelunga circuit in Italy

There were four drivers today at the Italian track, which included a third chicane that shortened the total lenght from 4.028 to 3.284 kms to make it similar to the Monte Carlo layout.

Honda's test driver Anthony Davidson was the quickest of the four after 126 laps at the wheel of the RA106 car, the Briton finishing over a second ahead of Williams test driver Alex Wurz.

Williams focused on set-up changes and evaluated revised suspension components for Monaco. The British squad also worked on tyre comparision for the street race.

Wurz drove alongside test driver Narain Karthikeyan, who returned to work after more than a month out of the cockpit. The Indian was slowest today, finishing behind Briton James Rossiter, who joined Davidson at Honda.

Today's times:

Pos  Driver        Team                       Time     Laps
