Jarno Trulli, despite not returning to the track in the afternoon, notched up the second fastest time of the day with a 1.20.20 , less than a tenth off the best of the day.
Trulli completed a total of 43 laps focusing on tyre programs along with brake and software development. Due to a broken driveshaft in the afternoon Trulli did not make it back on to the track to continue the session.
Heinz-Harald Frentzen completed 68 laps and after a morning gearbox failure and a successful routine engine change in the afternoon worked on tyre development and aerodynamics.
The Jordan-Honda team will finish testing on Friday the 20th December and will not resume tests until the first shakedown of the EJ-11, currently expected in mid-January.
