4th May - Satisfactory conclusion to the test.


Jarno Trulli and Ricardo Zonta yesterday completed a three-day test for Jordan-Honda at the Silverstone Circuit. Trulli posted the second fastest time - a 1 minute 23.93 seconds - and Zonta was fifth fastest with a lap time of 1 minute 24.94 seconds.

Conditions at Silverstone were fine and dry and less windy than the previous two days. The team conducted a vary productive day and maximum mileage for both drivers with Trulli completing 88 laps and Zonta finishing 65.

Following two problematic days the team was successful in running similar programmes for both drivers. The programme focussed on tyre evaluation, an extensive range of suspension geometries and testing evolution engines for Honda and the day was a good conclusion to the three day test.
