He was closely followed by Sebastian Buemi in the Torro Rosso, who had been at the top of the board for most of the session, and world champion Jenson Button in the Mclaren.

Michael Schumacher was also back in action for Mercedes GP but could only manage sixth fastest on the day with a time of one minute 21.083 seconds.
