From the Historic Grand Prix collection, this is a Ferrari 312 originally driven in Formula One during the 1967 season by Belgian Jacky Ickx and New Zealand's Chris Amon. |

 |
This Marlboro McLaren M23/12-Ford driven in 1976 by Jochen Mass is identical to the one in which James Hunt won the World Championship that year. |

Back to modern day Formula One machines, here is the Orange Arrows A21, powered by a Renault-based Supertec V10 engine. |

 |
The team has struggled since being bought by Tom Walkinshaw in 1996, but the package has continued to improve during the 2000 season, showing much promise. |

The qualifying session begins and immediately DC is out on the track for a shake-down. |

 |
Nick Heidfeld takes the Prost-Peugeot out for an early spin. The best he could manage was 16th on the grid, but it was a thrill to see the F1 cars take on the oval section of the track. |

 |
Ralf Schumacher runs through the banked turn on his way to his tenth spot on the grid. |

 |
Jarno Trulli also returns to the pits in the Buzzin' Hornets Jordan. He impressed us all with the best-of-the-rest spot (fifth) on the grid. |

The Sauber of Pedro Diniz landed ninth. |
13:06 Fujifilm Nexia A200 SS1/90 CF5.6 |
 |
A sight like no other. Michael Schumacher takes a Ferrari around Turn 13 before launching onto the front straight at the Brickyard. At this point he was fastest on the track at under 1 minute and 15 seconds, but he was still to go faster. |
13:15 Fujifilm Nexia A200 SS1/250 CF5.6 |
 |
Rubens Barrichello has a wisp of vapor off his rear wing as he rounds Turn 13. But he just can't seem to get as much speed as Michael or Mika. |

 |
Mika gets to within 0.162 of a second of Michael's pole-winning lap time. |
13:39 Fujifilm Nexia A200 SS1/250 CF5.6 |
 |
The Ferraris return from a tandem lap, where Michael attempted to give Rubens a tow down the straight to lift him above the McLarens. It didn't work: the second Ferrari was left in fourth place. But a couple of minutes later, McLaren played the same trick and Coulthard found himself leapfrogging Hakkinen into second place alongside Schumacher's pole. |

 |
A 1970 Brabham BT-33/3 leads the #9 Tyrell 002 in which Jackie Stewart won the 1971 World Championship. It's amazing how quickly the design of the cars was changing at that time. |

The 1971 Yardley-McLaren M19A/2-Ford. |

 |
The Williams FW08C/011 driven by Keke Rosberg and Jacques Lafitte in 1983, ahead of a Lotus 79/4 as driven by Mario Andretti in 1978. |

 |
John Watson's 1972 March 72 1/4, a BRM P20 1/01 as driven by Jean-Pierre Beltoise in 1974, something I can't recognize and then a 1975 Brabham BT44B as driven by Carlos Reutemann. |
