Magnussen tops Snetterton test

Kevin Magnussen led a Carlin 1-2-3 on the first day of the final British Formula 3 pre-season test at Snetterton on Tuesday. The Dane led the way in both sessions as British F3 visited the new 300 layout for the first time. He topped the morning's damp running by half a tenth from Hitech's Pietro Fantin, and the faster afternoon session by just four one hundredths of a second from Carlin team-mate Carlos Huertas

Lorenzo: Yamaha making progress

Jorge Lorenzo believes his Yamaha is getting better and better after coming close to splitting Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa on the Jerez grid - but still feels Honda will be tough to catch in the race.
