ART Grand Prix dominates final practice
25 May 2007 / ResultsThe ART Grand Prix drivers were dominating Friday's final free practice session in Monaco. Lucas di Grassi and Sebastien Buemi set the fastest times in the 30 minutes practice session.
In an eventful session Xandi Negrao literally started with a bang, running too fast through the swimming pool complex and finding the wall on his first lap out of the pits. While Glock was already setting early fastest laps Ho-Pin Tung was also in the wars: his line into Rascasse was too sharp and, although he kept his car off the wall, a stall meant that he was also out of the session.
Once the track was clear the times started tumbling, with Pastor Maldonado, Andy Soucek, and Karun Chandhok all putting in competitive times to Glock and di Grassi, while Buemi looked as though he'd been in the series for years as he sliced his way around the tight track.
A quick tyre change and a clear track gave the iSport pair exactly what they were looking for: Glock put in a lap 1.2 seconds faster than the previous best of the day, and when everyone else came back out of the pits it looked as though no one would be able to better their efforts.
But the ART duo knew better and squeezed by at the top of the timesheets, with Glock finishing third fastest and just two tenths off di Grassi's best time. Behind him were Maldonado, Luca Filippi, Andi Zuber, Antonio Pizzonia, Nicolas Lapierre and Javier Villa.
With just an hour between free practice and qualifying there will be little time to find any last minute tweaks ahead of the vital qualifying session.
