Speed Fastest in Friday Practice
Scott Speed was the fastest man in practice in Barcelona today, setting a time of 1:27.521 - a full five seconds faster than last year's Formula 3000 pole time
Speed was just 0.066 faster than Coloni's Gianmaria Bruni in a fairly trouble free session.
Of the 24 drivers, only two had their sessions afflicted with car troubles - Nico Rosberg was unable to set a time due to a drive shaft problem and Can Artam ran for half of the session before stopping in the pitlane for the remainder.
Mathias Lauda lost his car under braking, stopping on track, while Nelson Piquet locked his brakes and took a trip through the gravel before continuing.
Piquet's teammate Xandi Negrao had a dramatic looking moment, flying through the gravel and finding the tyre barrier in a cloud of dust.
