Jenson Button starts P3 ahead of Lewis Hamilton who suffered a puncture in Q2 and therefore opted to do a single run in Q3.
Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa struggled for pace and could only manage fifth and sixth respectively, whilst Nico Rosberg secured P7.
Michael Schumacher, Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta opted not to set a timed lap.
