No times set yet. 4 min: Eddie Irvine pits without setting a time. Michael Schumacher just completed his shakedown lap. while Barrichello has yet to appear. 2 min: Many cars are out on the track already. They'll try to make up for the lost time in the wet yesterday. Irvine stays out for a second lap! Session underway and Takuma Sato is again the first man on the track. Most cars are either on used wet or intermediates but they'll switch to dry tyres soon. Ferrari dominated yesterday in mainly
wet conditions. The Bridgestone runners also had an advantage over the
Michelin runners however both McLaren's and Trulli in the Renault were
looking good. The weather forecast keeps changing. It is now expected to remain dry during the morning sessions but there is a 40% chance of rain during the qualifying hour. Session starting in 3 minutes Session starting at 9:00 AM local time. The weather is fine but the track is wet from the rain earlier. The air temperature is 13 degrees. |
