the engine in his car, limiting his running to four minutes; Häkkinen finished with the second fastest time. The Ferraris were second and fourth, Michael Schumacher was faster than Barrichello. Sauber's Mika Salo was fifth-quickest, ahead of Fisichella, Jordan's Jarno Trulli, Heidfeld, Ralf Schumacher and Trulli's teammate Heinz-Harald Frentzen in positions six through ten. There was a lack of grip at the tight final corner leading onto the pit lane straight, catching out multiple drivers. Overall grip was lacking around the circuit and the BAR duo of Jacques Villeneuve and Ricardo Zonta beached their cars in the gravel trap. Trulli stalled in his attempt to simulate a standing start. The weather remained dry and hot for the Saturday morning practice sessions. Every racer was able to drive their vehicles on the circuit in preparation for qualifying later that day. Coulthard set the fastest time of the third practice session, a 1:15.965, the first driver to lap faster than 1:16. Häkkinen was second fastest, almost two-tenths of a second off Coulthard's pace. The two Jordan teammates were quicker than the day before with Trulli setting the third-quickest lap and Frentzen behind him in fourth. Both Jaguars continued to be quick with Irvine fifth and Herbert eighth. The two were separated by Michael Schumacher and Button. Barrichello and de la Rosa were ninth and tenth. In the final practice session, Coulthard was unable to improve his time because of an engine failure halfway through the circuit that required him to enter the pit lane with smoke billowing from his car though he remained fastest overall. Coulthard's mechanics replaced the engine in his vehicle for qualifying since there was a lack to time to correct the issue during practice. Häkkinen managed to set a quicker time and remained with the second quickest lap. Barrichello ran quicker and was third fastest, in front of Ralf Schumacher. The Jordan drivers of Trulli and Frentzen were fifth and sixth, their best times two thousands of a second apart. Irvine was seventh quickest, ahead of Michael Schumacher who concentrated on qualifying set-up. Button and Herbert followed in ninth and tenth. Qualifying Saturday's afternoon one hour qualifying session saw each driver limited to twelve laps, with the starting order decided by their fastest laps. During this session, the 107% rule was in effect, which necessitated each driver set a time within 107 per cent of the quickest lap
