We seem to be running about 20 mins behind ( to be on the safe side!!!!)
Mind you, a hundred years ago, it was 20 weeks !

track conditions??

Ed · Post by Ed » Sat Mar 05, 2005 9:20 am

Not raining but track is wet. A dry line is starting to appear at some parts.

Coulthard fastest, a 1.41 29. These conditions are ideal for Michelin

Massa fastest!

The track is drying. Massa and Coulthard now in the 1:38's. A number of drivers on fast laps.

But wet races aren't the norm (or are you thinking of the boats already

)

15 minutes into the second session (drying track)

Massa, Alonso, Villeneuve, Fisichella, Coulthard,

Villeneuve only 0.7 behind Massa. That's an improvement

Super lap by Fisichella, a 1.35.88 !

and Alonso is second now. Both are over 1.5 seconds ahead of the rest

Montoya now third!

Interesting to see what the Ferraris will do

The ides of March loom closer

Karthikeyan spins and is stuck on the grass. His car catches fire! but is quickly extinguished

With the exception of the Ferraris and Friesacher, all drivers have set lap times. Fisichella fastest ahead of Alonso and Montoya
