Session underway 

Barrichello's bad luck continues here in Brazil. This morning he left the pits under the red light and like Takuma Sato, he will lose his best Qualifying time. Qualifying in 2 minutes. 

Track conditions seem to favour the Michelin runners while Michael Schumacher will be running the new F2002 Ferrari. It will be interesting to see how the new Ferrari compares with the Williams and McLaren. Qualifying in 5 minutes. 

The top 4 times from this morning's practice session were quicker than the pole time from last year. Expect the pole time this year to be in the low 1:13's or even lower. Qualifying starts in 10 minutes.

Session starting at 1:00 PM local time. It is mainly sunny with a temperature of 30 degrees. The track temperature is at 43 degrees.
