Once again Ferrari stuff up keeping one of their drivers in thinking they had enough!

So the order after the first session: Massa (1:20.484), Webber, Button, Vettel, Rosberg, Barrichello, Nakajima, Glock, Kubica, Hamilton, Buemi, Heidfeld, Piquet, Alonso and Trulli.

Knocked out: Raikkonen, Bourdais (1:21.300), Kovalainen, Sutil and Fisichella

As you can see, less than a second separates the top 17 cars!!
