And he improves again with a 1:35.881

Button now second with a 1:36.059

Alonso still on the medium compound but lapping over 2 seconds off the pace. He is 20th!

Button improves but remains in second with a 1:35.912.

Looks like the Brawns are quick on the super soft but not as quick on the medium compound

The left front super soft on the Brawn of Button looks really worn out as he finishes his run.

Alonso who is last is now on the track on the super softs!
