On the Button at Estoril

Button outpaced Jaguar's Eddie Irvine to top the times at the Portuguese circuit with a quickest lap time of one minute and 21.540 seconds.
Irvine was second quickest ahead of his team-mate Luciano Burti with BMW-Williams new-boy Juan Pablo Montoya fourth on the time sheets.
