Silversone Saturday Practice Comments

[Sato san]

Well , MR V has just text'd me on my mobile to say that it is dry at Silverstone this morning and looks like it might be a nice day .

So , if its dry then , will the Williams be any closer to Ferrari than they was yesterday in the wet ?

Will Jordan be back to being mid pack runners , and will Mcnish in his toyota be much more on the pace than he was yesterday in the wet ?

McNish and Yoong might want toi increase their pace a bit for the qual session. Even though 13 and 14 are not exactly the best places for the BMWilliams I expect them to be right on track for the quals...

And yes, I like it. In dry conditions - not wet and not exactly 2 seconds like yesterday, just 1.7s advantage for the Ferrari but that's not bad. That's not bad at all......
