Mika Hakkinen topped today's test-times at the Magny-Cours (France) track in the morning session today. David Coulthard was second.
Jos Verstappen will test for Stewart during this test session. The Stewart team has not been too pleased with the performance of Jan Magnussen and this test could result in Verstappen replacing Magnussen.

Jean Alesi was surprisingly faster than both McLarens on the Magny-Cours track today. He was positive about the long wheelbase car and the modifications that have been made to the rear suspension, but he did state however that he clocked his fastest time with a car running low fuel.
David Coulthard, he was third behind Hakkinen, stated that it was Hakkinen's own fault that the gearbox broke down during the last Grand Prix. McLaren and Ferrari were trying out different fuel loads and set-ups for the race. Ferrari was also testing a new front wing.
Giancarlo Fisichella sprained his ankle during a friendly soccer match on Tuesday. He had it looked at in the hospital, but it was not serious. It did feel a little sore however so he did not do many laps today.
-Friday June 19, 1998 (From: http://www.atlasf1.com/news/1998/720.htm)
Heinz-Harald Frentzen was rushed to a hospital in Nevers today after being knocked unconscious in a major crash with the tyre barrier, after sliding at 200mph. The track stewards pulled the German out of his wrecked Williams and he was rushed immediately to the hospital. Medical check ups revealed Frentzen had no internal injuries, but after regainging concious he complained about neck and back aches, and was therefore hospitalized for overnight checks.
In a different incident, which occured shortly before HHF crashed his Williams, Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher also spun his car and hit a tyre barrier. The impact was strong enough to totally wreck the Ferrari's front, but Schumacher was luckier than his fellow countryman and left the incident unhurt.
Earlier reports, coming from a local French news agency, as if Schumacher and Frentzen had actually crashed into eachother, turned out to be false and aparently a result of misunderstanding.
