Sato moves into 8th while Ralf Schumacher doesn't set a very competitive time and pits.

Session is almost over. Neither Renault will set a time and nor will Trulli!

Yes but times from practice don't mean much but it does look as if Villeneuve is finally getting to grips with the car. I think he has to deliver
It also looks that BAR are recovering.

McLaren look good too.

Can't wait to see the time Alonso sets in the second session. He has to set a time
