Final day of testing abandoned at Estoril

THE final day of testing at Estoril was abandoned on Thursday after teams deemed the circuit was too wet to drive on.

Benetton, Jaguar and BMW-Williams decided to abort the last day of the three-day test at the Portuguese circuit after heavy rain denied the team's any track time in the morning session.

With conditions unlikely to improve in the afternoon all three teams opted to pack up and end their year of testing.
