| 6th December - No problems on Day 1 at Jerez. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Following his brief shakedown at Silverstone last week, Ricardo Zonta enjoyed his first full day of testing in the Jordan-Honda EJ10 today at Jerez. The Brazilian driver completed 56 laps and posted the 8th best time of the day, working with Jordan’s new engineer, David Brown. “I had an excellent day working with David,” said Zonta on exiting the car. “We made a lot of changes to the car to find the right balance and I felt we made good progress.” Zonta was joined at the end of the day by Jarno Trulli, whose arrival at the circuit was delayed by fog. He completed only nine laps before close of play as red flags frustrated the Italian’s outings so consequently he was able to complete only one timed lap for 13th place. Commenting on the day, the newly appointed Head of Engineering Tim Holloway said, “We had a productive day running the new engine electronic system, which worked without any problems. For the rest of the week we will simply test its reliability and move on to concentrate on tyre and brake test programmes." The test continues on Wednesday and Thursday with both Ricardo and Jarno.
