Benetton and Honda were the only two teams present yesterday on a very cold and rainy Silverstone track, for the first of a three day test. Benetton continued to work on race preparation for the Australian Grand Prix, focussing on set-up, aerodynamics and brake work. Giancarlo Fisichella and Alexander Wurz will both test on Tuesday and Wednesday, while other teams are expected to arrive at Silverstone, for a last shakedown before shipping the cars to Melbourne.
