Short testday for Williams

Published on 17 February 1999 by Thorsten Hendriks

Today Williams completed their test at the South African circuit of Kyalami. Under a sunny sky with temperatures about 28°C, both Williams drivers drove a good morning session. Ralf Schumacher realised a laptime of 1.21.92. Alex Zanardi was not far behind his teammate with a laptime of 1.22.03. However after the lunch, both drivers damaged their cars when they were going of the track, which ended the test. The team said after the test, "Overall a lot of progress has been made at this test and the team is happy". Testing will probably continue next week in cooler conditions of Silverstone.
