Weather : Cold start, Bright and Sunny. Good Track Conditions.
Jacques Villeneuve
"The test has gone well. The car is still very heavy to drive at the moment, but we have been able to make progress. We seem to be getting better and better, so that's encouraging."
Steve Farrell, Chief Engineer
"So far so good. We have made steady progress on the new car and we are now really getting to grips with its character - it's a different beast to the 2000 car so it has taken us more time to understand it. With the good reliability we have had lots of track time and have done a massive amount of set-up work."
