Most impressive from the Toyota

But one wonders how much those tyres will last ?

Looks like no one will get Pole time, maybe we were too conservative

Alonso now second with a 1:32.880. Coulthard in 4th

These lap times are quicker than last year!

I am amazed by these times. And the cars are supposed to be slower.

If the Toyota and Red Bull can put such lap times, add at least half a second for Renault and McLaren

We're looking at a low 1:32 for Pole

What 'slow down' rules are they talking about.

Just over 5 minutes to go and the top 8 are:

Trulli (1:32.832), Klien, Alonso, R Schumacher, Coulthard, Raikkonen, Davidson and Montoya.

Button and Heidfeld yet to set a time. There seems to be a problem with Button's car. Can't confirm if it is engine related though

They've managed to get Fisichella out in time after his spin in the gravel. Very fast work!

TOP 5:
2 Toyota, 2 RedBull + Alonso!

Barrichello is 11th and over a second off the pace.

And he is the fastest Bridgestone runner

Told you the Bridgestones will melt
