Schumacher fastest in warm up

Michael Schumacher sent a further clear warning to McLaren and Mika Hakkinen that Ferrari are capable of overturning their traditionally poor Barcelona form

Hakkinen's McLaren was second, followed by the Ferrari of Rubens Barrichello and the McLaren of David Coulthard, matching their qualifying order.

Moreover, Schumacher seems to have a slightly larger advantage over his rivals, 0.4 seconds faster than Hakkinen and 0.6 seconds faster than his team-mate Barrichello, though the Brazilian shared fastest sector times with Schumacher.

Arrows' Pedro de la Rosa, possibly fired up after failing a fuel test, was sixth fastest, and Jenson Button was an impressive fifth, after a slightly disappointing qualifying.
