Montoya back on top in Valencia

Testing continued in Valencia Thursday, where Juan Pablo Montoya set another track record in the new Williams. Montoya's best lap of 1:10.55 was nearly a second faster than the second fastest driver on the day, Mark Webber in the new Jaguar R4.

Ralf Schumacher also continued development of the new Williams, and the team's test driver Marc Gene worked behind the wheel of a FW24.

Giancarlo Fisichella wrapped up four days of testing for Jordan Thursday. The Italian was hampered by a water leak, but was still able to complete over 60 laps of the spanish circuit.

Jenson Button also continued testing for BAR, after beginning a program Wednesday.

Some teams will return Friday for the final day of testing at Valencia for the week.
