サンマリノGPは、始まる前はフェラーリが独走するかと思われていたが、意外な展開になった。レースは多くのみどころがあった。バトンがPPを奪い、ミヒャエルが1回目のピットストップで1位を奪ったのは派手な面だった。むしろ、レースで面白かったのは4位争いの方だ。3度のピットストップでめまぐるしく順位が変動した。オーバーテイクと接触もあった。また、TVで映さなかったが、中団以降でも随所にオーバーテイクがあった。F1は、単調な展開から、波乱含みに変わっていきそうである。流れから言って、BARホンダがフェラーリと争う一方の主役に躍り出そうである。
Although San Marino GP was considered whether Ferrari has its own way before starting, it became unexpected deployment. The race had much promise. There was the showy field that Button took PP and Michael took the 1st place for the 1st pit stop. Rather, the battle of 4th place in the race was interesting . Ranking was quickly changed for the pit stop of 3 times. There were also overtaking and contact. Moreover, although not projected by TV, the medium teams had overtaking everywhere. F1 is likely to change to having some rough going from monotonous deployment. It says from a flow, and while is likely to fight with Ferrari, and BAR Honda is likely to dance and appear in the leading role.
デビッド・リチャーズ「タクにはすまないと思っている。なぜなら彼も一生懸命がんばっているからだ。彼は報われていない。でも運は変わるものだ。タクのために運は変わるだろう。彼は速さを持っている。彼は知力を持っている。彼は両方のアプローチをしている。今シーズン終了までにタクが表彰台に上がる姿が見られるだろう。私は約束する。」（英アトラス）
David Richards "I feel sorry for Taku because he is also trying very hard and it's not coming to him, Luck changes and the luck will change for Taku. He has the speed, he has the intelligence, he has the whole approach to it. You're going to see Taku on the podium before the end of the year, that I promise you." (Atlas)
サンマリノGPはトサ・コーナーで2つのレーシング・インシデントがあった。1周目にＭ・シューマッハがモントーヤを押し出した。50周目にＲ・シューマッハがアロンソと接触してスピンした。
前者についてトップ３記者会見でモントーヤが不平を述べ、ウィリアムズはFIAに説明を求めた。後者はレース中に審議対象となっていた。
FIAはＭ・シューマッハの行動に問題はないと回答した。FIAはＲ・シューマッハとアロンソの両者についても問題なしと判定した。
San Marino GP had two racing inidents at the Tosa corner. M.Schumacher pushed out Montoya at the 1st lap. R.Schumacher contacted Alonso and spun at the 50th lap.

英アトラスは訂正した。BARのリアウィング付加物を違反と訴えたのは、フェラーリでなく、ジャガーだった。
BARはイモラからフェラーリのミッドウィングを真似した。昨日BARはリアウィングの件はフェラーリに訴えられたと言っていた。だがフェラーリはFIAに何も訴えていないと主張した。
一方、ウィリアムズのパトリック・ヘッドによると、ジャガーが先週の技術作業部会でBARのリアウィング付加物を追求していたという。その時FIAは判断できず、イモラの木曜に発表すると言った。BARは金曜に直したフィンで走り、土曜にはすべて外した。ジャガーにはBARから移籍したエンジニアがいる。ジャガーはBARをひきずりおろしたかったようだ。
BARはこのパーツがパフォーマンスに影響すると言っていた。佐藤は金曜2番手から予選7番手に落ちたが、バトンは関係なくPPを取った。BARは昨年からマシンとチーム全体の革新を続けていることが効果を現してきており、チーム2年目のバトンが結果に結びつけた。
ホンダはカナダから出力を向上したエンジンを投入する予定だ。BARがトップに来れば、それを妬むライバルも出よう。これも試練だが、それを乗り越えて強いチームになる。
Atlas corrected that appealed violation against the rear wing addition of BAR it was not Ferrari but Jaguar.
BAR imitated the mid wing of Ferrari from Imola. BAR had said that it complained of the affair of the rear wing to Ferrari yesterday. But Ferrari was claimed that they had not complained to FIA.
On the other hand, according to Williams' Patrick Head , Jaguar said that the rear wing addition of BAR was pursued in the technical working group of last week. Then, FIA could not be judged but said that it announced on Thursday of Imola. BAR ran with the fin repaired on Friday, and was altogether removed on Saturday. The engineer who transferred from BAR is in Jaguar. It seems that Jaguar wanted to drag and take down BAR.
BAR had said that this part influenced performance. Although Sato fell from Friday of 2nd to Qualifying of 7th, Button took PP not related. Continuing innovation of a machine and the whole team from last year expressed the effect, and team's 2nd year Button connected BAR to the result.
Honda is going to throw in the engine which improved the power from Canada. If BAR comes for a top, the rival who is jealous of it will also come out. Although this is also a trial, it is overcome and it becomes a strong team.
F1史上、初ＰＰのドライバーが優勝した率は21%に過ぎない。3位まで広げると計41%に上がる。だがリタイヤの48%が最も多い。(1950-60インディ500を除く)
全PP勝率(1950-2000)の37%から見て、初PP勝率は低いと言わざるを得ない。
初ＰＰで優勝したのは、セナ、Ｍ・シューマッハ、ファンジオら15人。２位はプロスト、ヒル親子ら11人。リタイヤはクラーク、ハッキネン、スチュワートら34人。
昨年初ＰＰだったアロンソは3位、ライコネンはリタイヤだった。一番直近の初ＰＰ優勝は1994年モナコのＭ・シューマッハまでさかのぼる。
初ＰＰでスタートできなかった例が唯一ある。1975年アルゼンチンGPのジャン・ピエール・ジャリエ（シャドウ）だ。
The rate in which the driver of first PP won was only 21% in the history of F1. If it extended to the 3rd place, it went up to a total of 41%. But there was most retired of 48%. (Except for Indy 500 1950-60)
First PP winners were 15 persons including Senna, M.Schumacher and Fangio. 2nds were 11 including Prost, Hill parent and child. Retires were 34 including Clark, Hakkinen and Stewart.
Alonso which was first PP last year was the 3rd place, and Raikkonen retired. The nearest first PP winner went back to M.Schumacher in Monaco 1994.
There was only 1 DNS (Did Not Started) in 1975 Argentine GP, Jean Pierre Jarier (Shadow).

土曜フリー走行はＭ・シューマッハが2つのセッションともトップだった。BARは途中のタイムが上がらず中団に埋もれかけたが、バトンが終了間際にミヒャエルに0.025秒差に迫るタイムを出した。佐藤はバトンに1秒遅れたが、セクター3でスローダウンしたためで3番手の力はあった。
最初のセッションでクリエンがバリアンテ・アルタのシケインで縁石に乗り上げてコントロールを失い、クラッシュした。バリアンテ・アルタは難しく、第2セッションでクルサードとラルフもスピンした。パンターノは高速コーナーのピラテッラでコースアウト。バウムガートナーはアクア・ミネラリでクラッシュ。
M.Schumacher topped both Saturday practice sessions. BAR would sink in medium group, but Button took out the time for which a difference is pressed for 0.025 seconds to Michael just before the end. Although Sato was late for Button for 1 second, it was because he slowed down with the sector 3, and there was power of 3rd.
Klien ran aground to the curbstone by the chicane of Variante Alta in the first session, control was lost, and crashed. In the 2nd session, Variante Alta was difficult and Coulthard and Ralf also spun. Pantano pulled off the high-speed corner Piratella. Baumgartner crashed at Acque Minerali.

フェラーリがクレーム (4/23)
BARホンダはリアウィングを変更することを強制された。フェラーリがFIAにクレームを言ったためである。（英アトラス）
ホンダのコンセプトで、BARは新しいリアウィングを開発した。リアウイング上の拡張エレメントに変更の跡が見られた。
FIAはリアウィングのエレメントを2つまでと規定していたが、付加物について各チームが様々に解釈していた。FIAは先週、全チームに説明文を送った。このような付加物は3つめのエレメントと見なされ、違反である。
ウィリアムズもフェラーリのクレームで外した。独走するフェラーリだが、ライバルの接近を過敏なまでに恐れている。フェラーリのマージンは大きくないのかもしれない。
Ferrari claimed (4/23)
BAR Honda had it forced to change the rear wing. It is because Ferrari told the claim to FIA. (Atlas)
By the concept of Honda, BAR developed the new rear wing. The marks of change in the extended element on a rear wing were seen.
Although FIA had prescribed that the rear wing has two elements, teams were interpreting it variously about the addition. FIA sent the explanatory note to all teams last week. It is considered that such an addition is the 3rd element and it is violation.
Williams also removed the same thing by Ferrari's claim. Although Ferrari has their own way, they feared approach of rivals remarkably. The margin of Ferrari may not be large.

金曜フリー走行午前はフェラーリが圧倒。Ｍ・シューマッハが1:20.084で2番手バリチェロに1.359秒、3番手ラルフに2.166秒の差をつけた。
午後はBARが1-2。バトンが1:20.966、佐藤が1:21.159。しかしＭ・シューマッハの午前のタイムには遠く及ばない。フェラーリは例によって午後は余裕のレースセッティング。
ウィリアムズはここが得意のはずだが、走りこんだ午後もタイムは上がらなかった。マクラーレンは相変わらず少ない周回数で、信頼性の不安を隠せない。
ジョーダンのグロックがスピンしてクラッシュし、午後は走らせてもらえなかった。クリエンも午前中にスピンした。
Ferrari overwhelmed in the Friday practice morning. By 1:20.084, M.Schumacher gave to No.2 Barrichello for 1.359 seconds and Ralf for 2.166 seconds.
BAR was 1-2 in the afternoon. Button was 1:20.966 and Sato was 1:21.159. However, the time of the morning of M.Schumacher was not attained to distantly. Ferrari set the race arrangement of a margin by the example in the afternoon.
The time did not go up in the afternoon when it ran at and this was crowded although Williams must be a speciality. McLaren was the constantly few number of times of a lap, and cannot hide uneasiness of reliability.
Grock of Jordan spun and crash he could not be allowed to run in the afternoon. Klien aloso spun during the morning.
バトンは昨年までイモラの予選では過去のチームメイトに4戦全敗だった。バトンが全敗のサーキットは、ほかにモンテカルロ（3敗1休）、モントリオール（4敗）とホッケンハイム（4敗、02改修）がある。一方、バトンがチームメイトに勝ち越しているところはインディアナポリス（3勝1敗）だけだった。
佐藤琢磨が2002年の予選でフィジケラに勝ったところは、そのイモラと、ニュルブルクリング（バトン1勝3敗）、シルバーストン（バトン2勝2敗）、鈴鹿（バトン2勝2敗）の4ヶ所である。
Button had four games complete defeat in qualifying of Imola for past teammates. Circuits of complete defeats of Button has Monte Carlo (three losses one rest), Montreal (four losses), and Hockenheim (four losses, 02 repaired) in others. On the other hand, the place where Button has led the teammate by wins is only Indianapolis (three wins, one loss).
The place where Takuma Sato won Fisichella by the qualifying in 2002 was four places, Imola, Nuruburgring (Button with one win and three losses), Silverstone (Button with two wins and two losses), and Suzuka (Button with two wins and two losses).

例年の気温は20度前後で、これまでの3戦より10度は低い。ミシュランはコース的には合っているが、路面温度の低さで不利。昨年Ｍ・シューマッハは3連敗のあと、ここから3連勝した。サーキットはストップ＆ゴーの性格を持ち、ウィリアムズとBARに向いている。フェラーリは3つのセクターとも突出するわけではない。コース全体で穴のない走りをしてくるだろう。
Ｍ・シューマッハ199戦目。
Normal temperature is over or below 20 degrees, and 10 degrees is lower than old 3 games. Disadvantageous, although Michelin is correct in course at the lowness of road surface temperature. M.Schumacher defeated successively three times from here after 3 consecutive defeats last year. A circuit has the character of a stop & go and has turned character to BAR with Williams. As for Ferrari, three sectors do not necessarily project. The run which does not have a hole through the whole course will be carried out.
M.Schumacher's 199th GP.
