Doornbos (first time out in a Minardi): Sector 1 = 17.0; S2=53.9; 1:18.313 = provisional pole, of course
Karthikeyan: barely keeping it on track! S1=17.6; S2=55.7; aborts the lap without a time
Albers: S1=17.0; S2=53.2; 1:17.519 for pP1 … and then runs wide
Monteiro: S1=17.3; S2=54.1; 1:18.6 = pP3
Sato: S1=16.4; S2=52.2; 1:15.501 = pP1

Barrichello: S1=16.7; S2=52.5; 1:16.230 = pP10, 1.16s off the pole time!
M.Schumacher: S1=16.6; S2=52.0; 1:15.006 = pP1 by 0.064s – he’s running very light
Button: S1=16.5; S2=51.7; 1:14.759 = pP1 by 0.247s

Alonso: S1=16.7; S2=51.7; 1:14.904 = pP3
Montoya: S1=16.3; S2=51.4; …slides off on the last corner, through the kitty litter and into the tyre wall! Ouch! He was pushing hard to take pole from his teammate, and instead wipes out. Back of the grid for JM.
Interviews:
KR: oversteer in a few corners
JB: bit too much front-end; first time he’s qualified inside the top 12 (at Hockenheim)
FA: lost time in Turn 1 and T2; strategy-wise we’re in really good shape
KR: not happy with my qualifying lap
