Jacques Villeneuve will test a Williams next week in Monza. This is not yet confirm by Williams but it should happen soon.
A wind of change is blowing on Williams :
Williams' Head to step aside Patrick Head is stepping down as BMW-Williams' long-serving technical director. The thirty percent team shareholder is likely to announce a staff shake-up on Tuesday as Grove opens a new wind tunnel at their headquarters in Oxfordshire. His successor is probably chief operations engineer Sam Michael, an Australian. Head could take-on the new, more managerial, role of 'director of engineering.'
Williams' 2004 car, the radical-looking FW26, has thus far proved a disappointment, and is ostensibly the reason for the technical re-organisation.
Head has been Williams' technical chief for 27 years.
A source close to Grove denied that Williams' owner and principal Sir Frank Williams ordered the change following pressure from German engine partner BMW. ''I made the decision,'' Patrick Head said at Monaco on Sunday. He said it's 'in response' to the unsatisfactory start of the season.
