BARCELONA TEST F1

On the final day of testing this week at Barcelona, Alexander Wurz completed two thirds of a race distance held up only by two minor oil leaks.

Alexander Wurz: "The car is responding well to the setup changes so we have made some really good progress in this area. We need to keep pushing but it's very positive that the test programme is running to schedule."

Giancarlo Fisichella completed the B199 winter testing programme which was hampered by an engine failure in the morning session.

The second B200 is nearing completion and will be rig testing early next week before going to Danielson for further aero test. The third B200 is expected at the Barcelona test in the week of the 14th February.
