The session was marred by several crashes.
PEREZ CAR FLIPPED
There was a major scare when the red flag came out one hour into the session as Sergio Perez flipped his Force India car on turn 11, with the rear skidding out from under him and sending him into the barriers and toppling over.

BIANCHI HONOURED
Since the tragic death of driver Jules Bianchi F1 teams decorated their cars, drivers' helmets and garages with the #JB17 stickers.
