Maserati take things easy in the warm up
The two German teams fielding Maserati MC12s did not go all out but tried instead to run as many laps as possible so that they got to know the car and the track. Ramos/Bernoldi covered 11 laps to place seventh; Bartels/Bertolini (10 laps) are in thirteenth; Bobbi/Longin (10 laps) twenteenth and Heger/Margatis (9 laps) twenty-second.
The weather conditions were an improvement on yesterday’s when pre-qualifying was held in strong winds that blew sand onto the track surface.
