Arrows cars miss first practice

The Arrows cars of Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Enrique Bernoldi failed to take part in today’s first practice session for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone as boss Tom Walkinshaw continued the fight to save his time.

The Scotsman effectively bought himself another 24 hours to find the £3.2m he needs to pay Cosworth for its engines after the cars earlier today passed scrutineering for the race.
