Practice is perfect as Pizzonia outpaces Schu

ANTONIO PIZZONIA will want to frame the timesheet from the first hour of free practice for the Canadian Grand Prix.

It showed the Brazilian Jaguar driver outpaced Monaco winner Juan Pablo Montoya and five-times world champion Michael Schumacher by over half a second, but the weather conditions had a lot to do with it.

Pizzonia was straight out of the blocks in the session, and worked straight down into the 1m16s bracket. His best effort, 1m16.621s, would stand as the best of the day so far, as the threatening rain clouds finally broke on the track about 10 minutes into the session.
