Salac’s ultimate benchmark lap time came early in the 40-minute session, and it was around then when Canet came off his bike after a moment under brakes at Turn 1. The Spaniard, who had already been persevering with injury after April’s Portuguese Grand Prix, had a car crash during the week and his latest mishap left him in obvious pain. However, you cannot keep a good man down and Canet came back out near the end of proceedings to first get into the all-important top 14 with a 1:24.170, then make sure of his place in Q2 with a 1:23.853. Fernandez improved slightly compared to his FP2 pace to claim third with a 1:23.957.
