Times set in the warm-up session this morning for the Austrian Grand Prix were quite a bit higher than those set in qualifying yesterday. Mika Hakkinen was the fastest man this morning with a time of 1:12.803, followed by Trulli, Michael Schumacher, Fisichella, Coulthard and Barrichello. Jos could keep up with the pace with a time of 1:14.766, a 17th spot, Salo a little less with 1:15.340, still good for a 19th spot.

Tarso Marques did not drive this morning due to a disqualifying for the race this afternoon. His car was under the minimum weigth of 600kg. Minardi commented that this was unintentional and that Marques lost 3 kg of weight since the last official weighing.

Some latest news from the pitlane: Arrows will develop it's own engine next year in cooperation with Brian Hart, under which name is not known. Alexander Wurz will drive for Benetton next year together with Fisichella. Jos is expecting to stay with Tyrrell next year but contacts with other teammanagers are being maintained.
