Trulli clocked a best lap time of 1min 25.120sec while testing at the Tuscany circuit, averaging 221.828 km/h. He beat the previous best mark of 1:25.252 set by Michael Schumacher's Ferrari in a private practice session on April 3. Though a boost for team morale, Trulli's time like Schumacher's could not be recorded as an official lap record since they can only be clocked during races or official qualifying sessions. The Prost team are joined for this week's practice sessions by Sauber drivers Johnny Herbert, who finished third in Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix, and Gianni Morbidelli.
