Valencia Test Day two
Pushing Hard

Another productive day of testing saw Giancarlo Fisichella and the EJ13 finish the day in fifth fastest position with a lap time of 1m12.251 seconds. Slightly slower than yesterdays very impressive time.
Again however, today wasn't plain sailing for the Italian. A minor technical gremlin struck in the morning session and a spin during the afternoon saw the session red flagged whilst the car had to be recovered.
Unsurprisingly, the cars faster than the Jordan were those of Mclaren and Ferrari with Mclaren test driver Alex Wurz taking the honours with a lap just over a second faster than the EJ13's.
