Briton Gary Paffett drove to McLaren-Mercedes MP4-23K - the KERS test car - but his day's work was cut short at lunchtime when a minor oil leak prompted the team to execute a precautionary switch to the vacant MP4-23.
Luca Badoer and Marc Gené drove the Ferraris to 13th and 14th spots.
Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa, driving for Force India, set the slowest time of all.
