Jerez, day 3, lots of rain

[KC]

The third day of testing at Jerez gave all the teams resent a chance to test rain tires as torrential rains fell. In this test, Michelin performed well, grabbing quite a few of the top spots. Also, Montoya seems to be acclimating well.

1. Montoya
2. Coulthard
3. Button
4. Irvine
5. R. Schumacher
6. Fisichella
7. Heidfeld
8. Barrichello
9. Raikkonnen
10. Burti


Whiule these tests do not always bring out the best in top teams like Mclaren and Ferrari, it does give the new boys and lesser teams a chance to establish a pecking order.

Go Juan!

This just confirms my belife in him. I can not wait to see him race in F1! I know I'll be off to some of the test sessions at Silverstone this winter!

Is he competing in the Paris Masters?

Tris, I like your being an optimist and I guess Juan will acclimate well in Formula-1, but I'm absolutely sure that it's not a test-time that can confirm this!

Yesterday I read that Button beat Juan Pablo, and Juan Pablo got a good time, he was in the 11 position, now he is in the top and this is a signal of nothing, please Barrichello had a good 2000 season and Button showed good performance, Ralf, Irvine and others aren't new drivers, and Montoya come from a different category and has a good time in this test, and this say to me that he begun before we expected, even me, even the biggest Montoya's fan believe.

When you like he always make what he can, in a test or in a race, this is only the beginning.
