2 Fernando Alonso Renault* M 1m24.755s 43
3 Anthony Davidson BAR-Honda* B 1m26.425s 20

Gene has been fastest on all 3 days of testing at the track.

[Mania]

Gene has impressed me since he took over as the Williams test driver last year. Clearly, the Williams bosses hold him highly - and have publicly praised his input as has Ralf Schumacher, if I remember correctly.

I just hope Gene doesent spend the rest of his career on the test bench like Badoer at Ferrari. I'd like to see Marc drive for a good team to show us what he can do.

PS - BAR - still down in the dumps. Let the countdown begin for Jacques final departure from BAR.

To be fair rto BAR, theye did have a mechanical problem which limited Davidson to just 20 laps. On day 2 he was 2nd fastest behind Gene and ahead of Alonso.

[Speedworx]

They were NOT using the new cars. All 3 drivers used interim cars.
