| 14:13:47

| 14:14:23

| 14:20:06
| Fisichella vaults third fastest in the Renault. |
| 14:20:47
| Coulthard is currently 11th and his car is covered in tiny pictures of people who donated money to Red Bull's charity. |
| 14:21:36
| Klien improved to tenth and then pitted his Honda. This is his chance to shine for the team and show the pit lane he has what it takes to return to racing. |
| 14:21:55

| 14:26:36

| 14:28:19
| Raikkonen moves fastest by some margin on the soft tyres. |
| 14:29:20
| The Ferrari has covers or inserts on the front wheels that completely cover the inside area. |
| 14:30:19
| Ralf Schumacher is moving up the order in his Toyota. |
| 14:30:32
| Schumacher moves third fastest. |
| 14:31:24
| Hamilton is not making much progress at the moment and remains in tenth position. |
| 14:32:38
| Webber moves sixth fastest in his Red Bull. Hamilton pits after a moment at Copse. |
| 14:33:54
| Kovalainen has a huge off track excursion in his Renault. |
| 14:34:18
| The Finn ran straight through the gravel trap and was fortunate he could keep going. |
| 14:35:58
| Trulli on track as Toyota really are showing that their test pace at this circuit a few weeks ago was no fluke. |
| 14:37:48
| Rosberg moves fifth in his Williams. |
| 14:38:05
| Massa is back out in his Ferrari. |
| 14:38:40
| Massa improves and remains second fastest. |
| 14:39:25
| Hamilton is making up some time now in his McLaren. |
| 14:41:56
| Not a lot of action on track at the moment. Schumacher has just gone back out. Webber, Heidfeld and Klien on track. |
| 14:43:31
| Raikkonen heads back out. His time is half a second faster than Hamilton's best from the morning session. |
| 14:45:07
| The Ferrari crew have taken off Mass'a front wing and are working on what looks like the brake master cylinders. |
| 14:45:36
| Alex Wurz out in his Williams and looking to improve on P17. |
| 14:46:35
| The Austrian picks up a few positions on that run. Barrichello has also moved up the order in his Honda. |
| 14:47:00
| Ralf Schumacher (3rd) has climbed out of his car. |
| 14:47:35
| Now Wurz moves sixth fastest in his Williams. |
| 14:48:32
| Alonso (8th) is back on track. |
| 14:51:56
| Takuma Sato moves 14th fastest just ahead of team-mate Davidson. |
| 14:52:25
| Raikkonen understeers off at Copse but is able to continue. |
| 14:53:46
| A small gain for Liuzzi who moves ahead of the Spyker duo. |
| 14:54:18
| Hamilton picks up three positions and moves fourth fastest. |
| 14:54:49
| Hamilton is pushing hard and using all of the road. |
| 14:56:09
| Raikkonen has an even wider moment though Copse. He has bad understeer on worn tyres. |
| 14:57:23
| Trulli is back out but in traffic. He is just behind on of the Super Aguris as he runs wide in Luffied and puts his rear wheels into the gravel. |
| 14:57:52
| Trulli continues to start another lap. Schumacher is waiting on the team to fix the problem on his TF107. |
| 14:58:32
| Trulli is looking ragged as he makes another small mistake. The conditions are tricky on worn tyres. |
| 14:58:55
| The fastest five are all on track now including Ralf Schumacher. |
| 14:59:57
| Heidfeld is just 18th and back on track. The back end looks unstable going through Becketts. |
| 15:03:39
| Alonso improves his time but not his position. |
| 15:07:30
| Barrichello runs off track and through the gravel. |
| 15:07:50
| He returns to the Honda pit. Felipe Massa is on a hot lap... |
| 15:12:05
| Few changes to the order. Raikkonen remains fastest and is on track. Massa is in the pits and remains second fastest. |
| 15:12:41
| After some issues on his Toyota, Schumacher is back out and remains third ahead of Hamilton, Trulli and Rosberg. |
| 15:13:20
| One of the Spykers has nosed into the wall. Yellow flags are out. |
| 15:13:45
| Sutil lost it big time into Copse and completed a 360 degree spin before hitting the wall. |
| 15:14:13
| So a dramatic exit for Sutil as the car is cleared away. |
| 15:14:35
| Sutil was slowest at that point anyway. He and Albers are really struggling. |
| 15:15:20
| The yellows remain out at Copse. That will have been quite a scary ride for the rookie driver. |
| 15:18:10
| Fisichella (tenth) is back out. Most are on loing runs to evaluate the tyres on relatively heavy fuel loads. |
| 15:20:08
| Ten minutes remain. Some will go for a low fuel new tyre run in the final minutes. |
| 15:20:25
| Davidson moves tenth fastest for Super Aguri. |
| 15:24:00
| Alonso picks up two positions and is now sixth fastest demoting Rosberg and Wurz. |
| 15:25:26
| Fisichella runs off track but is able to continue. |
| 15:25:56
| Raikkonen remains in the pits as Massa runs wide. The circuit is now pretty busy |
| 15:26:36
| Massa took too much kerbing in the Becketts turn and got the line wrong for Chapel. He was able to continue. |
| 15:28:03
| All of the front runners are on track for the final minutes. |
| 15:29:31
| Raikkonen is pushing hard to improve. |
| 15:30:13
| The chequered flag is out. |
| 15:32:01
| Kimi Raikkonen remains fastest as Alex Wurz has a high speed trip across the grass. |
| 15:32:23
| Massa is second fastest ahead of Schumacher, Hamilton, Trulli and Alonso. |
