Barcelona day 2am: Firman crashes

Jordan's Ralph Firman has suffered his first accident as a Formula 1 driver this morning in testing at Barcelona in Spain

Jordan's new signing went off the track and struck the barrier in his Jordan EJ13, damaging the front suspension of the car. He was uninjured.

A whole host of teams have joined the test today (Tuesday), with Olivier Panis leading the way for Toyota ahead of Renault's Fernando Alonso, who set the pace yesterday. Panis set 1m17.376s this morning, compared to Alonso's 1m18.176s.

Juan Pablo Montoya was third quickest in the new Williams FW25, ahead of Marc Gene in the hybrid FW24 fitted with this year's engine and gearbox.
