So while the clock would suggest that the Jordans are not too impressive, nearly two seconds behind the McLaren, no one will be in the least bit worried. Apart from one small problem, both drivers completed many incident free laps and it appears that the Honda Athena Engine Management System has had a successful integration.

Jordan test driver Ricardo Zonta finished the day just ahead of Heinz-Harald Frentzen.
“All in all we had a successful day”, said Phil Spencer Jordan's Chief Mechanic. “Ricardo managed a total of 60 laps and ran the new Honda engine management system without any problems. Heinz who was working on brake and calliper development completed 43 laps but had slight gearbox problems in the afternoon.”
