Session underway but no one exits the pits straight away!

In the first session today we saw Ferrari takes the top 2 places with Michael Schumacher setting a stunning time of 1:32.978. Barrichello was over seven tenths behind. Raikkonen who was fastest yesterday couldn't improve on his time from yesterday indicating a light fuel load when he set that time. The session should give us a better idea of how close Williams and McLaren will be to Ferrari. Session starting in 5 minutes.

Session starting at 10:15 AM local time. It is mostly cloudy with an air temperature of 21 degrees.
