Dixon is set for more tests with Williams in Barcelona
|
Williams handed a first taste of Formula One action to Indycar champion Scott Dixon in France on Friday.
The New Zealander tested the FW26 as Williams look at possible replacements for Juan Pablo Montoya, who joins McLaren in 2005.
"Although it's a steep learning curve, I've had a really enjoyable day and I'm pleased with how it went," said Dixon.
"I would have liked to have had a few more runs in the car as I think I could have gone quicker."
Dixon, who is more used to driving on ovals in the US-based Indy Racing League (IRL) series, will have further tests with Williams in Barcelona in April.
His times compared well with those of Williams driver Ralf Schumacher, whose future with the team is also uncertain.
