First Saturday Practice
Session Report - Results
Juan Pablo Montoya set the fastest
time of the session ahead of Rubens Barrichello and Pedro de la Rosa.
Villeneuve, Panis and Raikkonen make the top 6.
The session had the least activity of any
practice sessions in recent memory with just 13 drivers setting
competitive lap times. Only Kimi Raikkonen and Nick Heidfeld covered a
large number of laps due to both of them missing valuable track time
yesterday due to separate crashes.
The track was damp from overnight rain and
most of the teams didn't bother to go out until the track was dry. It was
only until 5 minutes from the end of the session that a large number of
drivers decided to go out for a run. Before that, it was almost a duel
between Kimi Raikkonen and Nick Heidfeld trading fastest lap times with
each lap.
There were no major incidents during the
session apart from Heinz Harald Frentzen stopped on the track due to brake
problems.
Nick Heidfeld covered 20 laps ahead of Kimi
Raikkonen with 19. Michael Schumacher, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen and
Fernando Alonso only did an installation lap.
The final practice session for today will
certainly have more action!
