Raikkonen Still Ahead at Silverstone - Day Two

McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen continued to set the pace on the second day of testing at the Silverstone circuit in England.

The Finn, quickest yesterday too, tested a revised front wing in his McLaren MP4-19B and finished over seven tenths of a second ahead of his teammate David Coulthard on a day which was hampered by the rain.

The Jordan team were also in action at Silverstone, working with three drivers at the British track. Italian Giorgio Pantano was the quickest of the trio, finishing ahead of his German teammate Nick Heidfeld, who covered only 26 laps.

41-year old Chanoch Nissany became the first Israeli to drive a Formula One car when he tested for the Silverstone-based team. Nissany's session, however, was short-lived after the Ford engine of his car blew up.

He completed just 25 laps and finished nearly 20 seconds off Raikkonen's pace.
