Kane runs for McLaren

The Formula 1 teams have been in action testing at Silverstone with mostly test drivers in action as the racers have stayed out in America or gone on to Japan. McLaren ran Alexander Wurz and Darren Turner while the team also gave British F3 driver Steven Kane a run, the prize for winning the McLaren Autosport BRDC prize a couple of years ago.

Ferrari and BAR were both in action at Mugello with Ferrari running Luca Badoer and Felipe Massa and BAR running Takuma Sato. Unfortunately the Japanese youngster went off heavily at one point, which will not have helped his cause in the fight to secure a drive for next year.

Minardi will also be in action this week with Jos Verstappen again at the wheel of the Minardi PS04 (nee Arrows A23).
