No crash so we don't know why there was a red flag!

So Speed, Monteiro, Klien, Sato, Villeneuve and Montagny are eliminated.

Alonso was fastest ahead of Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen.
Button, Heidfeld, Fisichella, Barrichello and Webber make the top 8.

Just a reminder that both Williams had their engines changed and as a result will drop 10 places on the grid.

We apologise for this but the delay is due to a problem with the timing monitors.

Villeneueve did manage to set a time and he is 7th fastest.

The 6 eleminated are Klien, Albers, Speed, Monteiro, Sato and Montagny.

We apologise once again
