Championship First Saturday Practice Session Report - ResultsMichael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen traded stunning laps this session and with the top 6 places occupied by the 6 drivers from the top 3 teams, it looks like we'll have a real battle for Qualifying. Both Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen managed to set times below the 1:14 mark and get very close to the Pole time of last year. Rubens Barrichello was also fast given that he is driving the old Ferrari while Ralf Schumacher ended up 4th and over 0.8 seconds off the pace. David Coulthard is 5th ahead of Juan Pablo Montoya. Behind the top 3 teams, Jenson Button continues his impressive form setting the 7th best time ahead of the 2 Sauber and surprisingly Jacques Villeneuve making the top 10. There were far less spins today as the track was cleaner but nevertheless, Bernoldi and Sato did spin but managed to recover. Alex Yoong covered the most number of laps with 20 followed by both BAR drivers with 17. Juan Pablo Montoya only covered 8 laps and so did Irvine while Barrichello, Massa and Frentzen covered 9 laps. All other drivers covered between 10 and 16 laps. Expect the times to drop further in the second session and with the track temperature expected to rise further, the Michelin tyres are expected to perform better.
