Wilson goes well for Jordan

FORMULA 3000 Champion Justin Wilson did a very commendable job in his first test for the Jordan Grand Prix at Silverstone on Wednesday. The 23-year-old Yorkshireman, who last weekend ended his F3000 season with the highest number of points ever scored in a single season of F3000, was only six-tenths of a second slower than F1 veteran Jean Alesi.

Wilson hopes to be able to get a drive in F1 next year but it is going to be tough as Jordan can keep Alesi or can try to go for Japan's Takuma Sato.
