British GP 8th-11th July 2004 - Practice Session 3 Report

Length: 5.303km
Number of Laps: 58 (307.574 Km)
Best Lap: K. Raikkonen - 1'27"724 (2003, Mclaren)
Record Pole: R. Barrichello - 1'25"843 (2003, Ferrari)
2003 Pole: M. Schumacher (1'27."173)

During Saturday’s dull and uneventful first session of practice for the British Grand Prix the Finn set a time of 1:19.315 to secure to top the timesheets for the second outing in succession.

The efforts of BAR’s Jenson Button (1:19.468) and Ferrari’s Michael Schumacher (1:19.671) proved fruitless as the pair took a back seat in the face of McLaren’s continuing resurgence.

But despite the fight between three of the sport’s biggest names those who bothered to turn up for the 9:00am start were left largely unentertained.

With overcast skies and sub 15 degree temperatures none of the 20 Formula One stars were overly keen on the idea of lapping Silverstone.

Nick Heidfeld was the busiest man - amassing 12 laps - while most of his rivals only completed the one timed run.

Minardi remained indoors during Saturday’s first session of practice after receiving the sad news that their sporting director John Walton had passed away overnight.

Alonso will be moved back 10 places on the grid after having his engine changed.
