Increasing tension

Published on 13 September 2003 by Huub Rothengatter

With only 3 Grand Prix to go both the Drivers' as Contructors' Championship title is still undecided. The title can still go to either Ferrari (Schumacher), BMW-Williams (Montoya) or McLaren (Raikkonen). After this morning's free practice the first 6 places are for the same teams: Motoya fastest followed by M. Schumacher and on fourth Kimi Raikkonen. On third is Marc Gene who had to replace Ralf Schumacher all of a sudden. Very good effort of the Spaniard.

Jos Verstappen did what he had to do, go fast and realise that's is all. Het lapped a time of 1.24.837 (3 seconds slowed than pole position), this means that he fulfilled his promise: keeping at least 1 Jordan behind him. Nicolas Kiesa in the 2nd Minardi was also faster than Zsolt Baumgartner.
