Apologies for the late start,

Nearly half way into the first session and the order is: Alonso, Hamilton, Raikkonen, Massa, Kubica, Trulli, Kovalainen and Schumacher.

Hamilton had a spin then pitted. It may have been a mechanical problem.

All the cars are on the hard compound so far.

The track appears to have slowed particularly in the middle sector or is that just traffic?

Both Alonso and Hamilton are actually improving in the different sectors!
Alonso set fastest 1st and 2nd sectors but had to slow due to traffic!
