Pedro de la Rosa was the quickest of three drivers in action at an artificially-dampened Jerez circuit today.

McLaren, BAR and Red Bull were in action at the Spanish track, taking part in a special 'wet' test for Michelin.

de la Rosa, the only V10 runner on duty, was the busiest man today, completing over 100 laps. His best time, 1:28.451, was over a second quicker than Barrichello, who is still getting to grips with Michelin rubber.

Christian Klien was just 0.23s down on the Brazilian, as the Red Bull completed 83 laps without any problems.

Testing resumes here on Tuesday, when Toyota and McLaren will be on duty, with WilliamsF1 and Honda joining in later in the week.
