Pre-season testing continued apace in Jerez today, with Pedro

in total at the Spanish circuit.
Michelin tyre testing dominated the days running as the team
prepares for the change in tyre regulations for 2006.
Pedro was the second fastest driver of the day in his MP4-20
V10 with a 1m16.733, just over one hundredth of a second off
Rubens Barrichello in a V10 Honda. Team-mate Gary was in 11th,

30 minutes from the end of the session, Pedro suffered an

1,500km.
