There were again a couple of crashes. Nelson Piquet jr. lost his car while approaching Turn 1 and hit the tyre barriers causing a damage on his R28 rear wing. About five minutes later, his team-mate Fernando Alonso brushed the barriers on the same Turn and lost his rear wing. The session was red flagged to clear debris from the Spaniard’s crash.
