BARCELONA TEST

A frustrating day for the team as attempts to run a race distance were thwarted by the failure of a hydraulic oil line. While only a minor problem, the resulting oil leak led to a small fire which did sufficient damage to stop the team for the day.

Repairs are expected to be completed overnight to allow Jos to continue the test program tomorrow. Jos did complete 17 laps today before the problem was encountered and he remained very upbeat about the cars performance.

The second A21 chassis is now on route to Barcelona and will join the test as soon as it arrives.
