Piquet and Button covered the most number of laps with 30.

Webber crashed early in the session only managing 4 laps. Bourdais seems to have some problem as he only completed 16 laps

Rosberg is the first to set a time but it is very slow as he lost time in the 3rd sector.

Vettel then Kubica then Alonso fastest!
