Teams Pay Tributes to US Casualties in Free Practice

Friday September 28th, 2001

Pedro de la Rosa's carA variety of tributes were paid to those killed in the terrorism attacks on New York and Washington during Friday's opening free practice session for the United States Grand Prix.

Jaguar Racing, who have large backing from America, led the marks of respect as they donned black nose cones similar to the one used by Ferrari at Monza two weeks ago. Ferrari reverted back to their all-red car at Indianapolis, but sported an American flag on the side of Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello's cars.

Jordan also ran with the Stars and Stripes emblem on their EJ11, while driver Jarno Trulli's helmet included a statement which read: "God Bless America". Meanwhile, Jaguar have scaled down a hospitality event due to the attacks and Indianapolis officials closed down one of two floors of the media centre due to a lowly turn out from journalists.
