*waiting for Sato San or AdamAshmore to say what's happened*

****ing Golf :P

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 14:54 (Ref:390551)

Not a lot happened. The McLarens and Williams look close, especially when you look at secor times. Montoya had a lap where he put in a great third sector, but it was an out lap and then he came back in because it was the end of the session.

Sato's engine blew up so he didn't set a time.

Other than that it was quite quiet. Very misty and there where lots of vapour trails of the wings (front and back).

LucaBadoer · 28 Sep 2002, 14:58 (Ref:390552)

thanks. Reading from daily F1, it says that Satos engine blew up on his installation lap. was he pushing hard when it went?

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 14:58 (Ref:390553)

There you go Luca!

Ferrari are monopolising the sector times too. Michael and Rubens share the sectors.

Montoya has a quick top speed at the end of the first sector (5kph quicker than anyone else), but nothing special across the start finish. THe McLaren's are slow throught hte traps.

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 15:01 (Ref:390554)

Couldn't really tell whether Sato was pushing, but he probably wasn't. His second sector time was 8s off the norm. And his trap speeds where 80kph down in 1 and 2 (the only sectors he completed).

LucaBadoer · 28 Sep 2002, 15:06 (Ref:390556)

is the mist clearing? I hope its a lot warmer in qualy for those Michelins.

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 15:10 (Ref:390558)

Actually it doens't look like it si clearing, but its a long time till Qualifying.

Honda brought 4 qualifying engines - one for each drvier. However Sato has now lost his...

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 15:17 (Ref:390560)

They are back out. Pedro, Kimi and Webber are first on track...

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 15:21 (Ref:390561)

Kiki had a little spin out of T11.

Webber broken.

Sonic has just doen an impression of Kimi - I didn't know that he was Italian!

All purples for Michael...

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 15:24 (Ref:390563)

Stoddart says there is nothing on the telemetry. They will have to wait for the driver and the team get back...

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 15:32 (Ref:390566)

Jordan has got Sato back out. Will he be able to set the top speeds all teh other Honda drivers have managed.

Fisi quickest of the other Bridgestone runners.

LucaBadoer · 28 Sep 2002, 15:37 (Ref:390571)

just reading on Daily F1 that the sun is now out

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 15:39 (Ref:390572)

The mist is almost gone, now the track temperature is increasing quickly...

Red · 28 Sep 2002, 15:43 (Ref:390574)

Wohoo!!! Eddie is in 4th!!!!

LucaBadoer · 28 Sep 2002, 15:49 (Ref:390575)

Michelin! Michelin! Michelin!

Red · 28 Sep 2002, 15:58 (Ref:390577)

Irvine 3rd!!!

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 15:59 (Ref:390578)

It'll be close for third.

Kimi off! But he's going for it! a light nurf of the barrier. No teven he could catch that rear end.

Irvine 3rd. A slight hint of a tow from Michael, but not a lot.

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 16:02 (Ref:390579)

Good effort from Heidfeld.

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 16:10 (Ref:390582)

Michael is trying two wing settings, described as low and medium by Ross. He is favouring the low on for qual at the moment. They change between the two by changing the rear wing.

Michael used the last part of the session to prepare some tyres for qual.

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 16:16 (Ref:390584)

DC says all cars are on the Prime tyre.

I think he means all Michelin runners. In which case there aren't as many tyre issues when considering team mates and teams for strategy.

LucaBadoer · 28 Sep 2002, 16:17 (Ref:390585)

Thanks for the updates, adam. At least the golf will have finished before qualification!

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 16:18 (Ref:390586)

Michael has granted Bruce Jones an interview...

He thinks qual is going to be tight and he is really excited.
He doesn't think Eddie will get third, but they have done well.

**Adam43** · 28 Sep 2002, 16:18 (Ref:390587)

How is the golf going?

LucaBadoer · 28 Sep 2002, 16:23 (Ref:390589)

I dont watch golf! Its my dad.
