Looks like Barrichello has a problem on his car. He parks it at the exit of the pits!

Coulthard goes fastest with a 3:05.844

Barrichello was over 1.4 seconds up on Villeneuve at the second sector yet he finished the lap just over 0.2 seconds ahead.

Sato's lap is fast!

So far all the drivers are struggling on the track and going wide.

Button though has a much tidier lap and goes first with a 3:04.348 on aggregate. Over 1.2 seconds ahead of Sato

Keep in mind that this session is run with race fuel so we don't know what kind of fuel loads each driver has on.

Massa starts his flyer.
