Raikkonen Sets Pace
Kimi Raikkonen was the fastest in the first free practice, leaving Lewis Hamilton in 11th
The world champion, Kimi Raikkonen, set the pace in his Ferrari yesterday in the first free-practice sessions and Lewis Hamilton was only 11th fastest after a spin in his McLaren-Mercedes.
Nelson Piquet and Fernando Alonso sprang a surprise by being second and third fastest in their Renaults ahead of Kazuki Nakajima's Williams and the Ferrari of last year's winner, Felipe Massa.
Max Mosley has had his invitation to visit Israel withdrawn. The minister of sport, Ghaleb Majadle, had asked the FIA president to visit the country and discuss the future of motor sport there. But Majadle, who extended the offer when he met Mosley in Jordan this week, was unaware of the sex scandal involving the 68-year-old.
Mosley said yesterday that he would attend the Monaco grand prix next month.
