In the morning session, Jenson Button encountered technical problems and in the afternoon he tried out the new power assisted steering developed by the Oxfordshire based team. However, I don't know when it will be introduced. Eddie Irvine concentrated on tyres, electronics and brakes. The Irishman is expecting a slight aerodynamic modification for the Montreal grand prix, in less than two weeks time. I think our performance at Monaco was mainly due to the new aerodynamic package.
More modifications are to come in Montreal and after.
Definitely here in Magny-Cours we will be quite strong. Both BAR drivers were trying new tyre constructions, yet neither Oliver Panis, nor Jacques Villeneuve appeared to be very happy with them. We tried the new construction which I don't think is the right way to go. We will try another one tomorrow but I am not sure whether it will be right for Canada or not. Ferrari was hard at work with Barrichello focusing on set-up while M. Schumacher tested tyres.
