Sebastian Vettel topped the time-sheets again in final practice at Silverstone with team-mate Mark Webber just behind him.
A strong session from Ferrari saw Alonso finish in 3rd and Massa just behind fourth-placed Nico Rosberg in 5th.
Robert Kubica ends the session in 6th with Lewis Hamilton in 7th, a poor practice by McLaren see’s Jenson Button down in 12th.
Schumacher placed his Mercedes in 8th, 0.4s down on his team-mate. BMW Sauber had a strong session with De La Rosa making it into 9th and Rubens Barrichello completes the top-10.
All drivers are struggling with the bumbs on turn 11 and this resulted in many being thrown wide onto the astro-turf.
