Williams' new nose makes difference - Pizzonia

Pizzonia running the new nose in Hungary

Antonio Pizzonia disagrees with Juan Pablo Montoya that a new nose makes 'no difference' to the FW26. "Well, it made a small difference," the Brazilian, following Williams' abandonment of the 'walrus' wing for Hungary, claimed.

Montoya, the team's regular race ace, trivialised the modification by claiming Grove's car felt exactly the same. Pizzonia said: "We knew it was not a huge change anyway. But we should feel it a bit more here than in Hungary because there it is all slow corners and here it is high speed corners."

The tester also told fans to keep tabs on the Monza session next week because it'll indicate whether or not he'll race in Italy. "Right now I won't do the test," said the 23-year-old, "but if Ralf has a problem I'll step in and probably race again too."
