Enrique Bernoldi continued the OrangeArrows test programme today at Barcelona, posting the fifth fastest time of the day just behind the McLaren of David Coulthard. Heinz-Harald Frentzen continues the test for the team tomorrow.

Again details from the track are non-existent, although AllAboutArrows can reveal that Enrique had a problem over the two days he tested, resulting in his A23 becoming beached in a gravel trap. Pictures from the Spanish test posted on F1-live.com show Enrique’s car being rescued onto the back of a lorry and recovered to the pit garage with a black drape over it.
