Published on 01 April 2006 by Thorsten Hendriks

The last free practice on the Shanghai circuit started on a wet track. Rain tyres were a necesity but halfway the session it was Jos Verstappen who was the first driver on slicks and instantly went fastest.

The track got drier and the drivers went faster. At the end of the session it was Indonesian driver Anando Mikola who was fastest, followed by Darren Manning (GBR) and Salvador Duran (MEX). Jos didn't go faster and got stuck on 14th place.
