Weather: Air 31, Track 49, Humidity 54%, Wind 1.1 mps, Dry
Notes: Kimi Räikkönen stopped on the circuit - out of fuel! Kimi's car was
recovered when the session was red flagged very soon after he stopped. The red
flag was caused by David Coulthard's Red Bull which suffered a front suspension
failure. DC missed the afternoon session and subsequently the FIA are concerned
that the Red Bulls might be unsafe. Red Bull's misery was compounded by an
engine failure on Webber's car. Hamilton had some gearbox problems and didn't
attempt to emulate Massa's time. Vettel spun off into the gravel trap, and
Sutil's running ended with lots of smoke.

lap. Ferrari topped the times for most of the session until Hamilton did a
late run to grab the top spot. His next lap was quicker still in the first
two sectors, but he pitted before completing it.
