Championship Warm-up Session Report - ResultsRubens Barrichello set the fastest time of the session ahead of team-mate Michael Schumacher. Kimi Raikkonen was 3rd but a massive 1.843 seconds behind with Takuma Sato in 4th, Montoya in 5th and Nick Heidfeld in 6th. Behind the Ferraris, the field is very close, under 2 seconds separate Raikkonen in second and Panis in 18th!. There were no major incidents during the session. David Coulthard had smoke coming out from the back of his car but managed to get back to the pits. Ralf Schumacher and Enrique Bernoldi appeared to have problems and only managed to set a time towards the end of the session. Michael Schumacher and Takuma Sato covered the most number of laps with 15 each while Ralf Schumacher did the least number of laps with 5 and David Coulthard only managed 8 laps. The track conditions were cool and that would disadvantage the Michelin runners but even then the pace of the Ferraris seems to indicate a lighter fuel load for the race (2 stops) but that remains to be seen. The weather is expected to get warmer and that would benefit the Michelins. Will Montoya be able to hold the Ferraris at bay ? We'll
have to wait and see.
