The 23-year-old German, in his Red Bull car repaired after a crash into the 'wall of champions' on Friday, clocked a best lap of one minute and 13.014 seconds.

This left him out in front ahead of the two Ferraris of Spaniard Fernando Alonso and Brazilian Felipe Massa, the two-time champion just squeezing ahead of his team-mate in the closing seconds.
