But it was another bad Saturday for the McLarens of world champion Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, who finished fifth and sixth respectively, languishing behind not only the Red Bulls but also the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso and the Mercedes of Nico Rosberg.
Seven-times world champion Schumacher again looked off the pace, scraping into the top-10 shoot-out by 0.033secs from former Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello who, along with fellow Williams man Nico Hulkenberg, was knocked out in the second session.
Jaime Alguersuari continued to outpace Toro Rosso partner Sebastien Buemi, with 1m 36.047s to 1m 36.149s. Vitaly Petrov recovered from his Saturday morning shunt to take 14th place for Renault with 1m 36.311s, then came the BMW Saubers of Kamui Kobayashi and Pedro de la Rosa which sandwiched Nico Hulkenberg’s Williams. Respectively they lapped in 1m 36.422s, 1m 36.647s and 1m 37.020s. Auto Racing Daily
