Nick Heidfeld was 13th on 1m 33.072s for Renault, now running their forward-facing exhausts again after Friday’s test of a rearward design, from Williams’ Rubens Barrichello in 1m 33.179s, Sergio Perez in the lead Sauber on 1m 33.531s, his team mate Kamui Kobayashi on 1m 33.671s and Sebastien Buemi on 1m 33.948s.
Jaime Alguersuari was 18th on 1m 34.125s in the other Toro Rosso, with a big gap to on-form Heikki Kovalainen who put his Lotus 19th on 1m 35.385s.

This resolved itself: Glock 1m 36.724s; Liuzzi 1m 36.804s; DAmbrosio 1m 36.894s.
