Jordan testing at Silverstone.

Giorgio Pantano and Nick Heidfeld began a three day test at Silverstone yesterday [Tuesday] for Jordan Ford.

In warm and dry conditions, the two race drivers' programme for the day concentrated on Bridgestone's tyre test programme.

Pantano completed 55 laps, despite a technical problem costing him some track time while Heidfeld completed an impressive 100 trouble free laps.

"This is our first test since the season began and I'm really pleased to be getting some more testing mileage in the Jordan Ford EJ14," noted Pantano, "Nick and I focussed our efforts on Bridgestone tyre testing today and despite losing quite a bit of time I did over 50 laps. Our lap times were close so I am satisfied overall with the first day and hoping to get through a lot more testing work in the next two days."

The drivers continue the programme today.
