Earlier this week, Jacques Villeneuve was via his weekly column in a newspaper very critical on the Williams car and the preparation of the Williams team for the grand prix of Brazil. However, for the moment he is not able to contribute in any improvements, since the Williams team is testing in Barcelona with Frentzen in the car. Jordan with Damon Hill and Ferrari with Michael Schumacher were also present. Ferrari used the test to try out a new rear wing, which they want to use during the grand prix of Argentina. On the first day, Schumacher was the fastest. On the second they Frentzen was slightly faster. All three drivers were on the second day within 0.2 sec.

David Coulthard was al critical. Not with his car or his team, but with the new regulations of the FIA. Despite the new rules it still remains extremely difficult to overtake other cars according to David who had great problems to overtake the both Tyrrells during the last grand prix.
