Testing plans pre-European GP.

All of the F1 teams on the grid, with the exception of Minardi will be back in action this week testing at Silverstone.

The three-day test starts today and will end on Thursday - the last chance the teams will get to prepare for the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring in two weeks time.

Benetton also plan to supplement their programme with a day at the Santa Pod drag racing strip in Bedfordshire on Friday to practice launch control starts. Ferrari will also have an extra day at Fiorano to shakedown the cars (the date has yet to be fixed).
