Alesi to get another McLaren test

Jean Alesi's test drive with McLaren was supposed to be a one-off affair but the problems encountered with the new Mercedes-Benz V10 engines mean that Jean will be back in a car this week at the Mugello test track in Italy, driving alongside McLaren's regular test driver Alexander Wurz.

JEAN ALESI's test drive with McLaren was supposed to be a one-off affair but the problems encountered with the new Mercedes-Benz V10 engines mean that Jean will be back in a car this week at the Mugello test track in Italy, driving alongside McLaren's regular test driver Alexander Wurz. The pressure is on Mercedes at the moment and the need for two drivers to do engine endurance work is an indication of how important it is for the team to move forward.

"We will get the job done," says McLaren's Ron Dennis.
