None of the Bridgestone runners are making an impact. Michael Schumacher in 5th is actually lapping slower than those in front. Barrichello is 15th behind Pizzonia

A dry line is starting to appear on parts of the track but it is still to damp for dry tyres!

Still soon enough one will take a gamble!

Smart move from McLaren, Montoya pitted while Raikkonen slowed down the entire field behind him giving the team enough time to change tyres for Montoya and Raikkonen and stay 1st and 2nd!
