Benetton's Giancarlo Fisichella set the fastest time at Silverstone yesterday, where four teams resumed testing, ahead of the San Marino Grand Prix next week.

Weather at Silverstone was partly wet, the morning times set in rain conditions. The Jaguar drivers were quickest during the wet session, however in the afternoon, as the track dried out, neither drivers had a chance to get back on track and improve their times.

Testing continues today at Silverstone.
