The final practice before the all important qualifying session saw the Red Bull drivers dominate the top of the timesheet, leaving Vettel and Webber to battle it out between themselves. McLaren continued their promising form too.
It really doesn’t look like Hispania will be able to start the race on Sunday, neither driver has posted a competitive time, so unless they can suddenly get with 107% of the pole postion time, we’ll only have 22 cars starting the race – and that’s if both Virgin cars get within the time – we’ve been assured they will..
Here’s the timesheet:
