Slight rain fell on the circuit, however the majority of the day was warm but cloudy.

After the session, he said he was pleased he had given the new run off section a go and gave it the thumbs up.
Three red flags were seen in the session. Early in them morning, Mark Webber s Red Bull stopped at the first chicane causing the first red flag of the day. Just before lunchtime, the Super Aguri of Takuma Sato stopped on track to bring out the second red flag of the day. The last red flag was caused by Alex Wurz who stopped at Turn 6.
