Arrows change testing venue

THE Arrows team have decided to change testing venues after adverse weather conditions hindered testing at the Estoril circuit in Portugal.

Arrows, who started testing at Estoril on Wednesday, had an interrupted day on Thursday and testing was abandoned on Friday as rain and cloud stopped the safety helicopter from taking off.

The Leafield-based team decided on Friday to move venues and their trucks started taking all their equipment to the Valencia circuit in Spain.

Drivers Jos Verstappen and Enrique Bernoldi are expected to start testing at Valencia on Sunday.
