Barrichello on pole!

By on

In a rather spectacular qualifying session, the Ferrari who had to start second took the pole. It is the first of Barrichello this year, just in front of an excellent Jarno Trulli. Both Michael Schumacher and Montoya made a little mistake, with espacially Montoya struggling with oversteer. Kimi Raikkonen and Ralf Schumacher are placed in front of Michael Schumacher, followed by Da Matta on sixth. Coulthard disappointed once again, and only managed to get 12th position.
