| 10:54:04
| Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen were third and fourth fastest for Ferrari. Raikkonen set the pace in the morning session, but was not able to keep up with the McLaren duo in the afternoon. As ever, it is a battle between the top two teams once again. |
| 10:56:06
| Toyota were the third fastest team yesterday with Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher fifth and sixth fastest. After a difficult run at Monza, the team will be hoping that when it really counts, they can again be in the hunt for solid top ten positions. |

| 11:16:06
