| Welcome to F1-Live.com and live coverage of Saturday morning practice from Istanbul Park, the 60-minute practice session ahead of qualifying. |
| 10:52:28
| As expected, Ferrari are strong once again this weekend with Felipe Massa setting the Friday pace yesterday morning, and Kimi Raikkonen fastest in the afternoon. |
| 10:55:03
| Lewis Hamilton led the McLaren charge, using a soft set of tyres to set the second fastest time in the afternoon session, just 0.036s shy of Raikkonen while Heikki Kovalainen was fifth fastest in the second MP4-23. |
| 10:56:04
| It was a mixed day for Red Bull on Friday with David Coulthard fourth fastest behind Massa, while Mark Webber crashed out of the session. We have yet to see much pace from BMW Sauber who were chasing the balance yesterday. |
| 10:57:03
| Toyota has shown some good turns of speed with Jarno Trulli seventh fastest yesterday, but as ever in the tight mid-field, it could go either way. |
| 10:58:49
| It is likely that the front runners will concentrate on qualifying setup for Q3, with race fuel on board. Those lower down the order, will look for out and out pace for Q1 and Q2 with low fuel levels. |
| 11:00:05
| The pit lane is now open and the session is underway. |
| 11:01:06
| Force India send out Fisichella and Sutil. Most will complete an installation lap and pit for checks. The cars are now fitted with a race engine and gearbox. |
| 11:01:37
| Others are now heading out for the installation lap. |
| 11:01:59
| Once again the circuit is damp in parts, but it is not raining. |
| 11:02:44
| The early runners are now returning to the pit. |
| 11:03:15
| With a few damp patches, the drivers are using intermediate tyres for this first lap. |
| 11:04:03
| All but Raikkonen and Massa have been out for an installation lap. |
| 11:06:13
| No one on track. A number of drivers really do want to be out now as changes made overnight need to be checked and validated. |
| 11:07:11
| Rubens Barrichello heads back out in his Honda. He made big changes to the car yesterday afternoon and admitted he went the wrong way. |
| 11:07:52
| Barrichello opts to pit straight away. |
| 11:09:34
| With the final turns of the circuit wet, few want to be out right now and would rather wait for the circuit to dry. |
| 11:12:43
| Still no one on track. It is a cool day at Istanbul Park meaning the circuit will not dry quickly. |
| 11:17:26
| 18 minutes down and still no sign of track activity. |
| 11:17:55
| Timo Glock has got bored of waiting and heads out in his Toyota. |
| 11:19:29
| Glock is on the intermediate tyre as he starts a timed lap. |
| 11:20:23
| Lewis Hamilton is now on track in his McLaren. |
| 11:21:34
| Glock records the first timed lap of the session, a 1:30.4, 1.6s slower than his time yesterday afternoon. It shows that the circuit cannot be that wet. |
| 11:22:13
| Sebatien Bourdais joins the action in his Toro Rosso Ferrari. |
| 11:22:37
| Glock improves next time around and is now under 90 seconds over the lap. |

| Hamilton moves fastest ahead of Glock. |
| 11:23:25
| Trulli and Vettel now on track as well. |
| 11:24:02

| Rosberg on track for Williams. |
| 11:24:38
| Bourdais spins his Toro Rosso. |
| 11:25:39

| 11:26:01

| 11:26:25

| 11:27:30
| Kimi Raikkonen heads out for the first time. |
| 11:28:53
| Rosberg is already faster than he was yesterday. The team must have found time overnight in terms of setup. |

| 11:52:53
| Glock moves sixth fastest for Toyota. |
| 11:53:31

| 11:55:50
| No gain for Raikkonen on that lap. He must have race fuel on board. Massa, Webber and Hamilton back out. |
