Championship First Saturday Practice Session Report - ResultsMichael Schumacher dominates the 1st session setting a time of 1:09.001 which is already faster than the Pole time of last year and over half a second faster than his team-mate Rubens Barrichello in second place. Kimi Raikkonen in 3rd was over 1.5 seconds off the pace while Heinz Harald Frentzen continues to impress in his Arrows taking 4th ahead of Felipe Massa and David Coulthard. Once again under track conditions lacking grip and low temperatures it appears that Bridgestone have an advantage. This should change during the second session and more importantly during the Qualifying session (provided the weather remains dry!). The session was incident free and Michael Schumacher and Olivier Panis covered the most number of laps with 24. Kimi Raikkonen, Felipe Massa and David Coulthard covered the least number of laps with 11 each. All other drivers covered between 13 and 20 laps. A number of drivers couldn't better their times from the Friday practice session possibly indicating they were running lighter fuel loads yesterday. That includes the 2 Minradi's, the 2 Jaguar's and the 2 Williams.
