Silverstone test in bad conditions

Published on 02 May 2001 by Verstappen Info Page

The Arrows test at Silverstone was partially washed away. This morning it was dry and the fastest times were established. In the afternoon it started to rain.

Jos worked all day to find a good setup and made second fastest time of the day in 29 laps. Enrique had an electrical problem which did not allow him to drive a lot of laps on the dry track. In the afternoon he was able to drive a couple of laps in the wet and reached 6th time of the day.

The Fin Kimi Raikkonen had a scary moment went he went off track. He had to swerve around a slow driving Ricardo Zonta. He was unhurt but the Sauber was fairly damaged.
