Ricardo put in an excellent show for Toyota in free practice this morning. Every time a driver threatened the Brazilian, he upped the pace. Jarno and Ralf decided to conserve their engines, by only completing an installation lap. Worryingly, the F2005 is showing its potential, with MS ending up 2nd.
