10:03
Kovalainen moves into 5th as Grosjean finally makes it onto the track
10:04
Webber crashes! Session stopped
10:06
He crashes going onto the main straight! Again it looks like it was due to lack of grip!
10:08
Webber's car is being cleared now. It sustained front damage particularly on the left side as he spun into the pit wall!
10:08
[Comment From Danfloyd ] Bugger, he was looking fast
[Ed] He was indeed. Fastest so far!

10:32
Grosjean who has yet to set a competitive time this session is back on the track
