MONZA, Italy (Reuters): Malaysian Alex Yoong made further progress toward what he hopes will be a Formula One drive later this season with a second test for Minardi on Wednesday.

Yoong, who aims to become his country's first Formula One driver by replacing Brazilian Tarso Marques at the back of the grid team, completed 49 laps on partially worn tires and a full fuel load.

The 24-year-old's quickest time of one minute 30.90 seconds was five seconds off the pace set on Tuesday by Brazilian Ricardo Zonta in a Jordan.
