Qualifying

It was no surprise to see Michael on the pole again this week, but Jenson Button was nowhere in sight due to an issue in one of the final corners on his hot lap where he ran wide into the dirt and lost time pushing him down to 14th on the grid. BAR honors were filled by a good run by Takuma Sato.

David Coulthard outqualified his team mate Kimi Raikkonen in 10th and 13th places respectively, lets hope they have a better race this week than the last few!

Giorgio Pantano in the Jordan-Ford had a dissapointing qualifying session, spinning in the same area as Button's problem and splitting the Minardi's in 19th place.
