Sunday March 26th, 2000 Defending world champion Mika Hakkinen of Finland topped the times in the morning warm-up for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix. The McLaren Mercedes-Benz driver clocked a best lap time of one minute 16.343 seconds to wind up just five thousandths of a second ahead of nearest rival German Michael Schumacher's Ferrari. Briton David Coulthard in the second McLaren was third-fastest ahead of Brazilian Rubens Barrichello in the second Ferrari. Only 20 cars took part in the warm-up following Saturday's withdrawal of the Sauber team on safety grounds after two successive rear wing failures on their cars. Frenchman Jean Alesi, in a Prost, suffered a similar failure with his car's rear wing during the session as the French team ended the session in 19th and 20th places behind the two Jaguars of Britons Johnny Herbert and Eddie Irvine.
