Massa fastest in final practice session

As the teams prepare for this season's final qualifying session Felipe Massa was the fastest man out on track in today's free practice session. He was just ahead of his team mate Michael Schumacher.

Saturday's free practice session was much busier compared to the practice sessions on Friday. Most drivers covered enough number of laps to find get the right set-up for qualifying.

There were a number of yellow flags out during the session. Halfway into the session Super Aguri driver Sakon Yamamoto spun his car going into turn 1. Not much later Michael Schumacher spun his Ferrari on the kerbs, but he was also able to continue his run. WilliamsF1 driver Nico Rosberg was also one of the drivers causing a yellow flag. He spun his car through Ferra Dura.
