Michelin testing at Valencia

FOUR teams resumed testing Monday in Valencia, conducting wet and intermediate tire testing for Michelin. McLaren-Mercedes driver David Coulthard set the fastest lap of the day at 1m30.750s, more than half a second faster than sole Williams driver Juan-Pablo Montoya.

Jarno Trulli and Jenson Button tested for Renault on the artificially soaked track, as did Eddie Irvine and Pedro De la Rosa, both in 2001 Jaguar R2s.

Ferrari, Toyota, Jordan, BAR and Minardi are expected to join the testing Tuesday at the Spanish circuit.
