Yeah that's right! Next testing AFTER the mexican GP it will probably today or tomorow as there is nothing to sort out!
News flash
Ford will bring a new engine for the Mexican GP. Ford said that they are glad to see that Arrows perfoms well and thay hope that there update will help them.
Judd will bring an engine update for the French GP! It will be free for Lotus and 1.5m$ for the other teams. They can purchase the update now!
Goodyear stated that they will bring new tyres to Mexico, they should bring a little performance boost. The update is free!
Martini's race performance is the only problem here... in qualifying, I can accept if he's not that good as his team-mate. But thankfully, we have money to develop later on.

Yes with this amount of reliability and this points system, it is close to impossible for about a third of the teams to score any points and therefore valuable prize money. I see Minardi are $2.4m in debt after just one test which means we have to score 24 points to make that back if our only prize money comes from points. No way are we going to manage that.

There is also a posibility to get prize money for a top 10 position in the constructors championship(minardi is on a godd way). At the beginning of the 1991 season all teams have to sign sponsors! There will the most money for the teams come from!
What a race here at Mexico. It was an extraordinary hot day which caused many riterements. Prost had a very poor start falling back behind Alesi and Piquet. 4th was Modena followed by Nakajima and Boutsen. Alesi was very fast from the beginning leting Piquet no chance to follow. Piquet was passed by Prost in lap 5. The order in the front didn't really changed for a while. In lap 31the very bad day for renault startet with the engine blow up from Modena. All 4 Engines failed to come any further than lap 47! After the pit stops Alesi was still in the lead followed by Prost and Senna. Boutsen was 4th and Piquet 5th. In lap 39 Prost ritered because of a broken gearbox. In lap 46 there was an extraordinary incident: Andrea de Cesaris tried to overtake Patrese which was in a fight with Moreno. The attempt failed end de Cesaris smashed into Patrese and his car chrashed Moreno from the track! All 3 cars where out. In lap 47 the forth and last Renault engine failed. Thiery Boutsen who was up into 4th position chasing Senna had to give up. From lap 50 on Ayrton Senna had some problems with his gearbox causing that Häkkinen could easy go through. At the end of the day only 9 cars scross the finishline and Stefan Johansson scored 1 point for Onyx.

The Larini Way: Consistant! That 8th shows that, at least, the Lambo engine was bulletproof in a day where engines just pop smoke. Tarquini is proving to be a dissapointment, but the return to testing might work out.
As I said before, Dallara will go to Imola for testing

Meanwhile, the Foiteks have withdrew their shares after Gregor kept DNPQing and the fact he kept complaining about alleged harassment towards him, meaning Onyx will need a new second driver. (What drivers are available? We will also test front and rear wings again)
All AGS drivers will continue to look at the Adjustable Rear Wing, this time at the Le Mans circuit.

Tyrrell would be more than happy to loan Onyx our test driver Eddie Irvine for the rest of the season, for a small fee of course
All three EuroBrun drivers will test the adjustable rear wing at Le Castellet.
