Looks like a gearbox problem with Rosberg.

Kubica was on a fast lap but pits.

Just over 15 minutes remain and the top 8 are: Massa, Raikkonen, Hamilton, Alonso, Kubica, Wurz, Fisichella and Rosberg.

Track temperature is up to 29 degrees as the sun shines on the track now!

Alonso moves into 6th. He made a mistake in S3 and that lost him time.

Session over, waiting for the cars on the track to finish their laps.
