Could we have race over, declared on practice times please. :lol:
Seiously tho, that is one helluva gap, even for 1st practice.
Or perhaps Webbo's leg does have a bit more flexibility with the screws out, and the shoulder is a bit freer/

Biggest gap between teammates Fisichella (3rd) & Sutil (20th) alhough Sutil stopped early. Trulli (4th) & Glock (19th) both did 23 laps!
