Following the shakedown at Silverstone last week, Ricardo Zonta enjoyed his first full day of testing in the Jordan-Honda EJ10 today at Jerez.
Following the shakedown at Silverstone last week, Ricardo Zonta enjoyed his first full day of testing in the Jordan-Honda EJ10 today at Jerez.
The Brazilian driver completed 56 laps and posted the sixth best time of the day, working with Jordan's new engineer, David Brown.
"I had an excellent day working with David," said Zonta on exiting the car. "We made a lot of changes to the car to find the right balance and I felt we made good progress."
Zonta was joined at the end of the day by Jarno Trulli, who completed nine laps before close of play. Red flags frustrated the Italian's outings and consequently he was able to complete only one timed lap.
Commenting on the day, Jordan's head of engineering Tim Holloway said, "We had a productive day running the new engine electronic system, which worked without any problems. For the rest of the week we will simply test its reliability and move on to concentrate on tyre and brake test programmes."
