Jordan happy with Monza progress.

Jarno Trulli and Ricardo Zonta yesterday completed the third day of testing at Monza as part of the Jordan-Honda team's four-day pre-German GP test.

The wet track in morning enabled Trulli to run a dozen laps to work on wet weather balance. Both drivers had a positive day overall. Trulli completed 72 laps to post the fourth fastest time of 1m 25.145secs in the time sheet, with Zonta's time of 1m 26.196secs placing him in tenth having completed 43 laps.

Trulli had a productive day from 11 am. when the track became dry, working on brake and tyre evaluation for Hockenheim and finishing his day very pleased with the car's handling. Zonta concentrated his efforts on general chassis set-up, although an oil leak during the afternoon reduced his mileage in the dry. The Brazilian will drive on his own for the final day of the test today (Friday).
