David Coulthard was back in action after sitting out testing on Tuesday to rest his neck. Everything seemed back to normal for the Red Bull driver who had a much needed boost by claiming second fastest on the time-sheets.
Nico Rosberg in the Williams Toyota was yet again up at the front with a third place followed by Heikki Kovalainen in fourth, just a tenth of a second behind.
Fifth place man was Mark Webber in the second Red Bull Renault five-tenths of a second behind his team-mate with Nelson Piquet and Fernando Alonso in the Renualt R28 ’s takin sixth and seventh places.
In eighth place was the second Williams driver, Kazuki Nakajima, ninth was Kimi Raikkonen and the final top ten runner was Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren.
The rest of the time-sheet was as follows; Timo Glock(Toyota), Giancarlo Fishichella(Force India), Felipe Massa(Ferrari), Robert Kubica(BMW Sauber), Sebastien Bourdais(Toro Rosso), Adrian Sutil(Force India), Nick Heidfeld(BMW Sauber), Jenson Button(Honda), Alex Wurz(Honda).
