`My racing clock still ticks`Alex Wurz says he still wants to race again in Formula One. The 32-year-old switched testing roles from McLaren Mercedes to Williams Cosworth for the 2006 season.
Although he can assume the `Friday` test seat, some have speculated that such a move might only have been motivated by Frank Williams` behind-the-scenes pledge that a return to the grid is likely for Wurz in 2007.
The Austrian driver confirmed in the Sportzeitung newspaper that he is keen to add to his tally of 53 Grand Prix.
"My racing clock still ticks - absolutely," Wurz was quoted as saying.
Suggestions that there is more to his Williams deal than a pure testing contract is only bolstered by Wurz`s admission that he leaves `very good friends` at McLaren. "We experienced a lot together," said Wurz, who joined McLaren in 2001 after racing for Benetton.
He calls Williams `a new challenge with the same goal.` Presumably, it is to race.
