Zonta completes first Jordan test

RICARDO ZONTA completed his first test for the Jordan team on Friday and reported no problems as he shook-down two chassis in wet conditions at the Silverstone circuit.

Zonta, who joined Jordan from British American Racing in the closed season, tested new Honda engine components attached to a 2000-spec power-unit.

"We tested the new electronics systems and all went well in preparation for Jerez," said Zonta. "The car felt good and I'm optimistic for the future."

Jordan will resume testing at the Jerez circuit, Spain from December 5-7 with Jordan driver Jarno Trulli joining Zonta in the driving duties.
