Johnny Herbert tests at Silverstone, May 1997

The Sauber team joined most of the other top teams for testing at Silverstone from Tuesday 27th May to Thursday 29th May 1997. On the Tuesday and Wednesday, Johnny tested the Sauber C16, posting 6th quickest times on both days - 1:25.53 and 1:23.35 respectively. New team-mate Gianni Morbidelli was 5th quickest on the Thursday with a 1:23.55.

By kind permission of the Sauber team, a few fans were allowed access to the test (a big thank you to Bob Herbert for arranging it). The following photos of Johnny are the best I could manage in the couple of hours I was there on the Tuesday morning:

Ready and waiting
Are we ready yet?

OK, let's get this show on the road...
