Record Pole: R. Barrichello - 1'25"843 (2003, Ferrari)

Kimi Raikkonen launched himself into pole position contention after setting an impressive time of 1:18.280 to top the final session of practice for the British Grand Prix.

It was the third session in succession, and the second on Saturday morning, that the Finn had topped the timesheets as his MP4-19B proved ultra competitive at Silverstone.

BAR’s Jenson Button (1:18.414) had no answer for the McLaren’s pace as he was once again forced to settle for second.

The leading duo were aided by an uncharacteristic performance from Michael Schumacher who spun and ran off the track in his Ferrari F2004 on Saturday.

The six times champion managed to set a time of 1:18.951 – the eighth fastest - late in the session to save face but before then couldn’t compete with the pace of his rivals.
Of course it wasn't helped when he took a trip through the gravel trap and ending up an escape road.

Rubens Barrichello was left to lead the Scuderia’s charge and fought hard to finish in third position with a time of 1:18.623.

Renault and Williams were also in the mix with Jarno Trulli (1:18.694) and Marc Gene (1:18.832) finishing fourth and fifth respectively.
