A red flag for a software glitch in the timing system briefly interrupted Q1, and Jacques Villeneuve had his three fastest Q3 times deleted for blocking Fisichella.

Felipe Massa led the first Friday session. Honda’s third driver Anthony Davidson topped the second Friday session. Michael Schumacher headed the Saturday morning session.
