Priaulx would like to be a test driver

Andy Priaulx says he would like to be the Williams Formula 1 test driver in 2006. The 29-year-old from Guernsey has been a big success in touring car racing with BMW and earned himself some F1 tests as a result but would now like to do the job on a more permanent basis.

That is not very likely to happen as Williams is understood to be looking for a driver with some sponsorship to do the role this year.

The man at the top of list of likely test drivers appears to be Holland's Robert Doornbos.
