Of the top teams, Ferrari appear to have made the most improvements for this race however it must be noted that the cars are very very close and the gap between the fastest and the slowest is around a second to a second and a half!

Trulli went off and then shot back across the track running into a number of cars! It was very unfortunate

Trulli was touched by another car (a Williams) and that is what pushed him off
