Pizzonia dominates Donington test

It was the fourth pre-season test in a row the Brazilian had dominated.

Pizzonia, driving for last year's champions Manor Motorsport, was fastest despite running on old tyres.

"We didn't use new tyres all day," he said, "so I still think we can go quicker. This is the first time this year I have driven the car in the dry so we have learned a lot."

Behind Pizzonia's Dallara Mugen Honda was Carlin Motorsport's Ben Collins.

Collins said "We've learned a lot today.

"In the past I've struggled a bit in the wet but today has been great as I've been in the top two all day. I am quicker than Antonio in some places and I'm making mistakes in others so I know that I can go quicker."

Third was the RC Benetton Junior Team Dallara of Dane Nicolas Kiesa, despite suffering a broken rear wing in the morning.

Narain Karthikeyan (Stewart Racing) was fourth right at the end of the day ahead of the two Promatecme Elf Renault F3 Dallaras of Andy Priaulx and Matt Davies.
