Trying to get hold of any pictures, info - was the test successfull? Was it a one-off test or was the idea that it would lead to an eventual F1 race drive? Was Al impressed with F1 machinery versus IndyCar machinery??

Is it true he tested for Benetton too also?

Any images of Al Unser in the Williams would be greatly appreciated

I have this image of Al Unser Jr in a Williams, I dont know the details of his test but I believe it was for a potential race seat. Franck Williams wanted him to do a season of F3000 first before giving him a seat and Unser turned it down

I think it was Paul Tracy that tested for Benetton. he was made to sign sign a management contract with Flavio if Tracy ever came to F1 to even be allowed to test,
