Williams and Ferrari evenly matched at Imola

Today's testing at Imola revealed that Williams and Ferrari appear to be closely-matched in terms of performance - if one can conclude anything.

Ralf and Michael Schumacher set times which were virtually identical in Tuesday's testing and both were well clear of the rest of the opposition, led by Rubens Barrichello. David Coulthard's McLaren was 1.3 seconds behind.

However the times should not be taken too seriously as yesterday Barrichello went faster than both Schumacher brothers.
