Massa and Kovalainen yet to set a time.

1 hour to go!

Massa now on the track and starts a flyer.

Looks like some problem on Kovalainen's car as there is no sign that he will be in the car soon.

He loses time in the 3rd sector. The fuel load is making the difference.

Looks like a number of teams are practicing qualifying runs today. This could be due to the fact that this track is used a lot for testing.
