The session is restarted and many drivers are back on the track straight away.

Hamilton and Massa are in the pits and haven't gone out. Perhaps they want to see if anyone actually sets a quick time before they go out.

Piquet spins in the same place where Raikkonen spun but hasn't lost the wing however on replay he hits the barriers backwards with some force.

He limps back to the pits

Now Alonso fastest with a 1:48.454!

His middle sector was very fast and he is on the harder compound
