It's a short list this week, due to the absence of both the Marussia and Caterham teams, as well as the early retirement of both Adrian Sutil and Sergio Pérez. Those that did manage to set lap times included Sebastian Vettel who shot to the fastest lap, something he used to do a lot but hasn't been able to achieve quite so often this year.

Fernando Alonso and Daniil Kvyat also put on a good show, with the Mercedes duo fourth and fifth, with Lewis Hamilton ahead.
