A day in which Japanese Kamui Kobayashi (BMW Sauber) recorded the fastest time (1:19.950).

 Japan has marked the pilot ”in extremis” the fastest lap of the session in Jerez, outperforming the Toro Rosso of Sebastien Buemi (1:20.026) and McLaren’s Jenson Button (1:20.618), second and third respectively in a day when the weather went along, keeping the track dry and allowing work to the best teams.
