Juan
Pablo would set a time of 1m:15.668 to finish 0.185 seconds ahead of
Barrichello. The return to the top of the times by both Ferrari drivers
was an ominous sign for the WilliamsF1 team. The only problem for the
Williamsf1 team would come for Juan Pablo who had to walk back to the pits
after his car stopped at turn eleven, after the end of the session.
