Weather: Air 21, Track 29, Humidity 78%, Dry (wet track)

Notes: BMW Sauber (Vettel) and Williams (Nakajima) used "third" drivers during
this session, substituting for Kubica and Rosberg respectively.

The wet track resulted in somewhat limited running - many drivers choosing not
to use their single set of intermediates. The quickest times were all set in a
final 3-minute dash after the track dried.

Special note - the Spykers are numbered contrary to expectations. It was
anticipated that Albers would be #20 and Sutil #21, however, Albers prefers
to have an odd number and requested the change.

Räikkönen was fined for exceeding the pit lane speed limit.

Weather: Air 21, Track 29, Humidity 78%, Dry

Apologies - the weather given for Practice 1 was actually that from Practice 2.
The real data was Air 23, Track 27, Humidity 82% - it was dry (it didn't rain
during the session).

Notes: Barrichello got acquainted with the barriers causing a red flag.
Kovalainen had some problems too, the car stopped on the circuit and then later
he took to the grass. Heike managing only 10 laps in the 90 minutes. Rubens
didn't cause too much damage but he was restricted to a mere 12 laps.

One shouldn't read too much into one session, but it confirms that Ferrari,
McLaren and Renault are fast and BMW Sauber are close. Williams look to be
in the top 10 and the brand new Super Aguri performed well "out of the box".
Toyota and Honda are slow while Toro Rosso and Spyker confirmed that they
are slow. Red Bull might be OK, DC was in the top 10 while Webbo was only
able to get 11 laps.

The top nine cars were within one second of Massa's time - Kovalainen
would almost certainly have been there too if he hadn't had problems.

Such a nice life for "Paris": Sits on his ass for half the final
session while the mechs change his car to Massa's setup and then goes
out and "rips" off a lap *only* .4sec slower.

....Nice 'work', if you can get it.

www.autosport.com says 200 Euros, which seems trivial, maybe it's a

The FIA are using Euros rather than USD now.
