Ferrari and Michelin dominated Saturday's first practice session this morning in Suzuka, with Giancarlo Fisichella in 9th place setting the quickest time of the rest of the Bridgestone runners. Takuma Sato's engine blew on entry to the pit lane as the session closed, putting the team under pressure as they work hard to replace the rear of Sato's race car with the T-car rear, so that the local Japanese hero can do further set-up work within the second session.
