BMW WilliamsF1 Team - Jerez Test Summary

Document from the BMW WilliamsF1 Team - Test Summary

                   1st October - 4th October 2003

Summary:

The BMW WilliamsF1 Team today completed a four-day test session at Jerez
circuit, Spain. Ralf Schumacher and Marc Gené performed testing duties for
the
first two days of the test, while Antonio Pizzonia took over from Ralf for
the final
two days.

With the Constructors' title still wide open and only one race to go until
the curtain
closes on the 2003 season, the team predominantly focused on set up work for
Suzuka with all three drivers concentrating on chassis, tyre and aero
development
testing. Marc Gené also completed a race distance with the new BMW P84
engine.

Sam Michael (Chief Operations Engineer, WilliamsF1):

"We have completed our year long testing programme at Jerez in Spain with a
good test. Ralf and Marc started off the four day test and then Antonio took
over
from Ralf at the half way point. All of the drivers have done a good job,
Ralf on
wet setup, Marc on race simulation and tyre testing while Antonio was
working on
long runs for mechanical setup. Based on his laptimes, 12 months out of a
Williams has done nothing to slow Antonio down; he is still quick.

"There was some rain and bad weather which enabled us to work on our wet
performance with Michelin. We also had quite a lot of dry running which
enabled
us to progress the electronics, mechanical set up and new aerodynamic parts
for
Suzuka. We also had an extensive tyre test with Michelin, confirming new
tyre
compounds for Suzuka.

"Well done to the test team and the factory staff that have supported them
with the
equipment that they needed to sustain such a long program. They are an
essential part of our world championship challenge."
