Session underway!

The first session saw a number of drivers top the timesheets but in the end it was Michael Schumacher who set the fastest time on his final flying lap of the session. The Ferrari and Williams appear very close here but as the track temperatures increases, it will be interesting to see if either of the tyres gains an edge. Session starting in 2 minutes

Session starting at 10:15 AM local time. It is partly cloudy with a temperature of 17 degrees.
