First Friday Practice Session Report - Results

Rubens Barrichello set the fastest time of the session ahead of Michael Schumacher and David Coulthard. Jarno Trulli, Kimi Raikkonen and Eddie Irvine make the top 6.

The session was delayed for an hour due to the foggy conditions in the area and it was then decided to cut the session down to half an hour. Despite that, Ferrari continued to dominate with both Barrichello and Michael over a second faster than Coulthard in 3rd place.

Trulli in 4th was over 1.8 seconds off the pace with Raikkonen close behind. A surprise Irvine was 6th but over 2.1 seconds off the pace.

There were no major incidents during the session although Juan Pablo Montoya failed to set a time and the Arrows cars didn't take part in the session.
Olivier Panis suffered a blown engine towards the end of the session.

Takuma Sato, Jacques Villeneuve and Olivier Panis covered the most number of laps with 12 while Pedro de la Rosa only managed 4 and Juan Pablo Montoya did 3.

We should get a better picture following the second session.
