Well, it was not one of the most eventful days of practice this season as rain ruled, but it certainly sets things up for a frenetic Saturday.
With dry conditions expected throughout the weekend, teams will have just one hour of final practice to get themselves set up for both qualifying, and the race.
We'll be back bright and early at 03:30 BST for final practice on Saturday. See you then.
