1. Michael Schumacher

Sunday: Reverted to spare car used yesterday by Barrichello in warm-up. Did best time in spare car, however. Went off briefly at Rivazza due to brake balance problem.Took lead at start, had 10s over Ralf by lap 14, up to 17s when pitted on lap 31 for 7.4s. Took over lead again on lap 33 which fell from 16s to 13s until second pit stop on lap 46 in 7.4s. Lead fell again from 16s to 12s but then rose to 17.9s at finish. 1st
Saturday: Had a spin at Rivazza in second part of morning session, but rejoined. Suffered traffic on first run in qualifying, ran wide on second, and made mistake on third but get pole on fourth. Difficult session, continuing to make changes. Ferrari's fourth pole at Imola, 151st in its history and number 45 for Schmacher. 1st/1m 21.091s.
Friday: Set fastest time in session, and going for another quick one in the afternoon when hit slippery kerb and spun at Variante Alta and stalled, missing final 13 minutes of the session. 1st/1m 36.898s

2. Rubens Barrichello

Sunday: Quickest in warm-up, now using Schumacher's former race car. Very happy with car. Just lost out to Ralf at start, so into third place behind him to first pit stop on lap 32 in 7.4s. Emerged ahead of Ralf in second place and pulled out 10s gap to him by second pit stop on lap 47, long in 13.9s due to problem with left rear wheel. Caught up to within 12s of Michael but then told to ease up to conserve engine. 2nd
Saturday: Had spin out of Acque Minerale at end of first part of morning session. Felt problem with race car's engine, so took spare. Quickest going into final - but his third - run in qualifying, but dust kicked up by car ahead of him and aborted run. Didn't do fourth run and saved tyres. 2nd/1m 21.155s
Friday: Learned about the car in the wet. Much work to do although cars have good balance. 2nd/1m 37.094s

3. David Coulthard

Sunday: Fine tuning race set-up in warm-up. Stayed sixth at start but dropping behind teammate, complaining of lack of grip and much understeer in opening stages. Then rear began to slide too. 13s behind teammate when Raikkonen pitted, Coulthard pitted last in 7.2s but emerged behind Button. Pitted again on lap 49 in 6.8s. 6th
Saturday: Engine change after morning session, so started qualifying late. Struggled to find clear lap and didn't get best from tyres. Handling reasonable but hoping for higher temperatures. 6th/1m 22.490s
Friday: Struggling for grip on Michelin's wet and intermediate rubber. 4th/1m 38.747s

4. Kimi Raikkonen

Sunday: Used spare car briefly in warm-up, working on final race set-up. Slotted into fifth place in early stages, initially challenging Montoya but soon dropped back, in spite of promising handling. Pitted on lap 30 in slowih 10.8s but remained fifth. However, retired with broken exhaust allowing hot gasses onto suspension on lap 44. Retired
Saturday: Had a spin out of Rivazza but rejoined in qualifying. Felt losing time in middle sector, but third slowest speed through speed trap. 5th/1m 22.104s
Friday: Had brief off and damaged bodywork at Variante Alta in afternoon session. Also struggling for grip - tyres being blamed. 5th/1m 38.773s

5. Ralf Schumacher

Sunday: Tried both race and car and spare in warm-up while making back-to-back assessment. Managed to move into second place, left behind by brother, but challenged by Barrichello. Pitted on lap 31 in 7.4s but Barrichello emerged 2.4s ahead. Pitted again on lap 46 in 7.2s but still in third place, 7.2s behind Barrichello. Gap rose to 12s but fell to 1.8s at the flag. 3rd
Saturday: Made mistake in final run in qualifying and didn't improve. Felt got best out of car and satisfied with performance. 3rd/1m 21.473s
