Last tests drive on
Action on two fronts

(GMM) McLaren, Red Bull and Toyota joined Williams on track as the last session before the upcoming test ban continued at Jerez.

Local Spanish tester Pedro de la Rosa, who will return to the 'Friday' car in Shanghai, was quickest of the seven in his McLaren before the engine let go.

''The reason for this problem will be investigated,'' said a McLaren spokeswoman. ''Before the failure, the (Mercedes-Benz V10) engine had been tested extensively across the full power range.''

In the south of France, meanwhile, Ferrari's Marc Gene did another day of Bridgestone testing at Paul Ricard. Michael Schumacher will take over on Thursday and Friday.
