I just noticed the BBC article about the spat between Narain Karthikeyan and Jordan team boss Colin Kolles:

“He doesn’t speak to me very much any more, so that is a good thing,” said Karthikeyan.
“He is just management, so I really don’t have to have a conversation with him.”
“Right now I just do my job and at the end of the year find a different place,” he said as he prepared for the Canadian Grand Prix.

Ouch!

Alonso was fastest in the earlier practice session (1:15.582) followed by Renault team-mate Fisichella; 3=KR, 4=TS.
