| The McLaren team have confirmed that they intend to take full advantage of the rule that allows them to use a third car in Friday practice sessions this season.
Under the FIA regulations any team that finished outside the top four in the previous year’s constructors’ championship may run an additional chassis. McLaren were fifth in 2004, making them eligible for the first time. The third car, which BAR used to great effect last season on their way to second in the championship, could be even more of an asset this year thanks to more stringent engine regulations which limit each driver to one engine for every two race weekends. |

| Michael Schumacher wants to finish the 2002 FIA Formula One World Championship™ on the top step of the podium this weekend in Japan.
The German, who has already been crowned this year's champion for the fifth time in his Formula One™ racing career, not only loves the Suzuka circuit but also the local cuisine and culture - with sushi apparently coming high on his list of favourite dishes! On a slightly more serious note, Schumacher is ready to prove that he is more than equal to the unique challenge provided by the figure-of-eight track, a circuit that he has only ever finished on in the top two and one that he feels particularly suits the Ferrari. "For the drivers it is a challenge," he said. "Things get interesting immediately after the start line and the next five corners are even better. This combination of turns, all slightly uphill, are pretty unique. They are tough on the driver and so, if you get it right, they are exciting!" However, he does have some bad memories of the event. In 1998 he lost the championship to Mika Hakkinen, after their fight had gone down to the wire at Suzuka, when he was forced to start from the back after stalling on the formation lap grid and then sustained a puncture, putting him into retirement, after he had fought his way up to third. He is also aware that McLaren took a step forward at the last Grand Prix in Indianapolis and so he cannot take victory at Suzuka for granted, especially with a ferocious Williams determined to make up for their Turn One blunder in the USA, which saw Ralf Schumacher effectively removed from the race and Juan Pablo Montoya relegated to fourth. Team mate Rubens Barrichello, marginal winner of the last race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, does not have such a record of triumphs in Japan. His best result to date is finishing fourth in the 2000 race, in his debut year for Ferrari. His only other visits to the points here have been fifth in 1993 (for Jordan) and last year. The Brazilian, however, has appeared to move up a gear this year, with three pole positions and four victories despite a difficult start to the season. Some of his good fortune has been repayment for the help he gave Schumacher on his quest for a fifth title, but it cannot be denied that Barrichello's talent has also come to the fore, in the form of some stunning qualifying sessions and masterful wins, in 2002. Although technical director Ross Brawn will not be able to attend the race, after continuing problems with his back, the team is still confident that they will supply a structure able to see Rubens Barrichello and Schumacher prosper before the entire grid breaks from racing and testing until the end of November. Schumacher has won the Japanese GP for the past two years running. |

| Minardi rolled out their new challenger, the PS02, at Imola yesterday (Friday), ahead of its February 23rd launch date.
Alex Yoong completed 20 trouble-free laps at the home of the San Marino Grand Prix in the new car, which features a higher raised nose, reshaped and extended engine cover and higher sidepods. It was also the first time the outfit had run with its new engine for 2002, the Asiatech AT02 V10. "I will admit to feeling very excited before getting into the KL Minardi Asiatech PS02 this afternoon," said Yoong. "The team has put a great deal of hard work into the new car, and it shows. "Today was purely a shakedown, with serious testing beginning in Valencia next week, but even so, it was possible to feel the potential. I was particularly pleased with how comfortable I felt in the cockpit, and am now looking forward to some serious running in Spain." Team boss Paul Stoddart, was equally upbeat about the new car, which was designed by ex-Prost technical director Loic Bigois. "We're proud and pleased that the new car had a successful debut today," he remarked. "The initial technical feedback suggests we have made identifiable progress in a number of areas, in particular, the engine and aerodynamic performance. "It's early days yet, but we believe there is a genuine opportunity for Minardi to achieve its aim of scoring championship points this season. "We will continue testing through the month of February and look forward with great anticipation to Melbourne, where we will be able to gauge the progress we have made and see if it has put us ahead of some of our rivals." New-signing Mark Webber, who was announced as the team's second driver earlier this week, is expected to get his first taste of the PS02 at Valencia next week. |

| McLaren chose to test alone this week in Valencia, while the majority of teams worked at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.
David Coulthard started his test programme with the MP4-17 on Tuesday, and Kimi Raikkonen worked in the MP4-16B test car. Raikkonen concentrated on a Michelin tyre development while Coulthard carried out engine and chassis work on McLaren's 2002 contender. By close of play on Wednesday Coulthard had set a time of 1.11.58 in the new car, while Raikkonen managed a 1.11.7 despite concentrating on shorter runs with lighter fuel loads. However, the Scot had to hand over the reins of the MP4-17 to test driver Alexander Wurz, after he was struck down by a heavy cold. The Austrian had not been scheduled to test again until 4th February, but flew to the Spanish track to complete a wet test on Thursday, after the track had been artificially flooded for this purpose. "All the team's drivers and engineers are pleased with the performance of the new car so far," commented McLaren MD Martin Whitmarsh at the end of the test. McLaren now switch to Barcelona next week, while the rest of the pack flies to Valencia for their test session from February 4th. |
