A slow start to the session saw relatively few times set. The track rapidly found pace and Williams made the most of an early advantage for a mid-session 1-2. However, Lewis Hamilton came from effectively nowhere, having failed to set a time for the majority of the session. He took the top spot, battling with his teammate, but it was Kubica who popped up in to second, in a well-timed and sturdy lap. Jarno Trulli brings up the rear with a broken gearbox. He'll need all the mileage he can get in FP2.
