Big lockup from Hamilton.

Even though the top 4 are all on the track. No improvements on the times.

So far Massa is in a league of his own. Alonso and Raikkonen are 0.8 behind with Hamilton a further 0.8 behind. The rest are over half a second slower!

This is similar to Australia although Toyota and Red Bull are up there with BMW this time!

Alonso is also on the softer compound and is going very fast!

The second lap on the softer compound is pretty slow!

Coulthard finally makes it on the track!

Coulthard in 11th! Not a bad position given that he only managed 7 laps!

Session over!

Kovalainen takes 4th on medium compound.

Massa is still in the garage with the team looking at a problem in the front suspension.
