Busy practice session for all the teams. Everybody wanted to get as much track time as possible considering that the practice session number two might be a rainy/wet one. Lewis Hamilton was the fastest this morning with 1:15.564 and Heikki Kovalainen crashed in turn 9 wrecking his car while Pedro de la Rosa ended the session by injuring one of his mechanics.
