I think there might be some desperate moves during the race. There are a couple of drivers out to prove a point.....or not 8)

Session underway and Anthony Davidson is the first out followed by Neil Jani and Alex Wurz.

BMW Sauber are not running a 3rd car today as Kubica is replacing Villeneuve as the race driver and the team couldn't find a suitable test driver in time!
