65 min: Several drivers on track at the moment, but with long runs on the menu, time are unlikely to improve.
Quote
63 min: Van der Garde reports: “Normally when you put new tyres on you get the bang of the grip. But I felt nothing, really strange. No grip compared to the first run.”
62 min: Perez overshoots the second chicane on his 20th lap. He continues without further drama after cutting through it.
60 min: Both Button and Perez on long runs, lapping some five seconds off the pace at the moment.
60 min: The track is busy with 19 drivers out there at the moment. Vettel and Webber come through again, separated by three-tenths of a second last time round.

59 min: Maldonado comments: “Quite good, second lap much better. Again in Parabolica it’s too loose.”
59 min: Bianchi goes off at the second Lesmo. The Frenchman has to return to the pits after the scare.
57 min: Webber is now slightly faster on the medium tyre with 1m28.974s, on a set that has done 12 laps.
56 min: Van der Garde replicates team-mate Pic's earlier scare at the first chicane, cutting through after losing the rear under braking.

52 min: Alonso back out for another run, again using medium tyres.
50 min: Quite a scare for Raikkonen, who puts two wheels on the grass at Parabolica. He controlled the car, though.
50 min: Webber heads out for another run. While Vettel is out there on hard tyres, the Australian is on a comparison run on mediums.
48 min: Maldonado is out there on medium tyres. He is advised over the radio that many drivers are getting their best time on the second or third flying lap.
47 min: Rosberg demonstrates the difference a tank load of fuel makes, as he misses the first chicane and sails through the escape road. He rejoins.

46 min: The Frenchman has set the exact same time as Raikkonen, both men having stopped the clock at 1m25.116s.

39 min: Sutil leaves the pits and begins his medium tyre run in the Force India.
