Published by Christine
A slow start to the day, with the major incidents coming at the hands of Nico Hülkenberg, who crashed his borrowed Force India car. Karun Chandhok was also granted a Friday drive, but struggled with gearbox issues and couldn't set a time. Timo Glock spun his car right at the end of the session, bringing the running to a close a little early. It was Mark Webber on top, with teammate Sebastian Vettel way down the order in 16th.
