Test sessions of the 1990 to 1999 years

No pics only test results of the Tyre testing that occurred between 3th and 6th of October 1990

"The test is partially for the Australian Grand Prix," said Goodyear spokesman Barry Griffin. Also at the test are both McLaren drivers, Williams, Benetton and GLAS. Stefano Modena, in his Tyrrell, was fastest on the second day of tyre testing at Estoril in Portugal. Testing did not start until the afternoon because of heavy rain. Riccardo Patrese was quickest of the teams testing Goodyear race tyres.

Ferrari test driver Giovanni Morbidelli did not do a single lap - Nigel Mansell takes over for the last two days. Gerhard Berger is waiting for a new monocoque to arrive after his accident on Tuesday and will continue testing on Thursday.

David Brabham tested a Lotus on Wednesday, fuelling speculation that he could drive for the team in 1991 if Martin Donnelly is not fully fit. The former Brabham team driver did several laps on the new Silverstone GP circuit, circling in 1min 35.8 secs. The purpose of the test was to allow Mika Hakkinen a chance to acclimatise to a Grand Prix car. He drove last year's car with a Judd EV V8 engine. Lotus are the first GP team to test on the new 3.21 mile circuit which will host July's British Grand Prix.

Italian Riccardo Patrese dominated the first morning of testing at Imola for the San Marino Grand Prix. The Williams driver was almost half a second faster than world champion Ayrton Senna, who completed 28 laps in his McLaren-Honda. Benetton introduced their new car with Brazilian Nelson Piquet clocking the seventh fastest time. The new Footwork-Porsche was also on view but Alex Caffi was well down the list of lap times.

Nigel Mansell easily set the fastest time in tyre testing in readiness for the British GP at soggy Silverstone - and looked forward with confidence. Mansell clocked 1 min 24.88 secs during the morning session as many of the drivers tried the new and more demanding circuit for the first time. He said: "I'm very happy with my form and very optimistic. The car has been progressing well. There have been problems but that's part of the game." Tests carry on Tuesday and Wednesday before the French GP on July 7.

Martin Donnelly was at Silverstone to watch testing for the British Grand Prix - his first taste of track action since his horrific Spanish GP accident. Donnelly, who was on a life support machine after suffering multiple injuries, drove to Silverstone from his Norfolk home as a guest of Team Lotus. He is aiming for an initial return later this year with a view to a full return to action next year. Donnelly said he had been approached by another team, likely to be Jordan Grand Prix, but would not confirm which one.
