Raikkonen.
They would all return to their pits leaving the track empty. Sato and
Villeneuve would also complete their installation lap. With thirty five
minutes remaining no times had been set. With thirty minutes left in the
session it would be Sauber's Jacques Villeneuve who would look to set a time
but he would abort his run returning to his pit recording no time.

start a flying lap and would cross the line with a time of 1m:15.060.

was now fifth with a 1m:13.945. Mark was now in tenth with a 1m:14.112.
