News of 21st May 1997


During this week, there were F1-tests at Barcelona. There were a lot of different times reported, I did not yet find two result lists with exactly the same times, so I will not print an exact result list, as testing times are not so important... But all the result lists show us, that Williams and Benetton are the teams to beat in Barcelona, followed by McLaren, Panis, Ferrari and Jordan. Olivier Panis was 5th at the end of the tests, which is a very good result... Shinji Nakano was once again quite at the end of the list, just faster than the Minardis, so the headlines in French (and other) newspapers, that Shinji must leave Team Prost soon, will be printed again, I think...

To give you an idea of the times: Villeneuve drove the best lap with 1:18,415; 5th place for Olivier Panis in 1:19,287; Shinji Nakano drove a 1:20,981. For the above-mentioned reasons, I don't give a guarantee for the times...
