Wet weather test in Spain

BARCELONA, SPAIN
Wednesday 19th February 2003    

Driver Giancarlo Fisichella  Ralph Firman
Chassis EJ13 / 02   EJ13 / 03


Giancarlo Fisichella and Ralph Firman carried out wet weather testing for Jordan Ford in Barcelona today, completing 27 and 53 laps respectively in consistently rainy conditions. 
 
Extreme track conditions and several stoppages due to red flags limited the programme however both drivers persevered with wet set-up work and start practices.  As the day progressed, track conditions improved (although still very wet), and Fisichella set the third fastest time of the day, 1:32.49, while Firman was fifth quickest with 1:32.72.

Jordan Ford will complete the test tomorrow before returning to Silverstone to make final preparations for the Australian Grand Prix.
