Behind them Mark Webber was again on strong form in the second Red Bull with 1m 14.523s as Felipe Massa yet again outpaced Ferrari team mate Fernando Alonso with 1m 14.553s to 1m 14.592s.
Mercedes were also in on the act this time, with Michael Schumacher sixth on 1m 14.654s and Nico Rosberg next up on 1m 14.669s. Jenson Button was eighth in the second McLaren with 1m 14.863s and Romain Grosjean was again Lotuss faster runner in ninth with 1m 14.994s.
Paul di Resta and Nico Hulkenberg proved very evenly matched at Force India, the former lapping in 1m 15.129s, the latter 1m 15.131s.
Lotuss Kimi Raikkonen was 12th on 1m 15.371s from Bruno Sennas Williams on 1m 15.432s and the Sauber duo, with Sergio Perez on 1m 15.542s and Kamui Kobayashi on 1m 15.839s.
