Junqueira fastest in Toronto warm-up

Bruno Junqueira and Katherine Legge put Dale Coyne Racing in first and fourth positions in Sunday morning warm-up at Toronto

The pair have not been running at the front too often this season, although they both used the red soft-compound tyres to set their quickest times.
 
The Brazilian veteran will be starting fifth, while the Briton who crashed out in qualifying and will start 16th, has adopted Junqueira's set-up and she was within four tenths of a second of him.
 
Behind Junqueira, Sebastien Bourdais and Oriol Servia set identical times to be the quickest on black hard-compound tyres for Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing and Forsythe Championship Racing respectively.

The pair were less than two tenths of a second slower than Junqueira, while Simon Pagenaud (Team Australia) and RSPORTS' Justin Wilson confirmed their qualifying pace by completing the top six behind Legge.
 
Paul Tracy did an excellent job to be seventh for Forsythe considering he missed a lot of track time with a gearbox problem, which kept skipping him into neutral when he was changing down.
 
Also encouraged are the Minardi Team USA squad, who went the wrong way on set-up in final qualifying.

Robert Doornbos and Dan Clarke both made the top 10, and both were within 0.6 seconds of Bourdais and Servia this morning.
