Montoya completes first laps with FW25.

Today's WilliamsF1 launch ceremony was completed with a spot of on-track action, as Juan Montoya took the all-new BMW-powered FW25 for its inaugural laps around the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.

The Colombian completed a single installation lap for the benefit of the assembled journalists and photographers, before returning to the pit-lane for ten minutes to allow the WilliamsF1 and BMW technicians to check the car over. He then returned to the track for a further run and more photo opportunities.
