14:34
NewsOnF1: 
Maldonado and Pic also on the Supersofts
14:37
NewsOnF1: 
Webber goes quickest with a 1:38.844. That was expected however the difference between the two tyres doesn't seem to be big. Hamilton no on the track and so is Rosberg also on the supersofts
14:39
NewsOnF1: 
Hamilton takes back the top spot with a 1:38.673. There seems to be less than a second between the two tyre types
14:40

14:40

14:45

14:50
NewsOnF1: 
Most of the drivers are now back in the pits
14:50
NewsOnF1:

All those in the top 10 have set their best times on the supersofts except for Vettel
14:52
NewsOnF1: 
Webber returns to the track on the super softs
14:56

14:57
NewsOnF1: 
Vettel goes second with a 1:38.781
15:05
NewsOnF1:

15:05

19 cars on the track
15:08

There doesn't appear to be any significant tyre degradation at this stage. Lap times around 1:45/1:46
15:09
NewsOnF1: 
Vettel back on the track doing a long run on the super softs
15:14
NewsOnF1: 
The long runs continue
15:17
NewsOnF1: 
So far it looks like Raikkonen's pace on the super softs is good, We don't know how much fuel he has though but he has been lapping in the high 1:44s consistently
15:20
NewsOnF1: 
All drivers are on the track
15:25
NewsOnF1: 
Alonso is lapping in the 1:46s/1:47s but in a consistent way, he may have more fuel on board
15:26
NewsOnF1: 
It is worth noting that this is one of the highest fuel consumption tracks on the calendar
15:29
NewsOnF1: 
Drivers are now swapping tyres for the final few minutes
15:30
NewsOnF1: 
The times are dropping so the improving track conditions and the drop in fuel load are negating the impact of tyre degradation
15:31
NewsOnF1: 
Session over with all 22 cars on the track
15:31
NewsOnF1: 
Top 10
