McLarenovi vozači, Jenson Button i Lewis Hamilton, na trećim su slobodnim treninzima ponovno zauzeli vodeće pozicije u poretku, ovoga puta ispred Marka Webbera i Ferrarijevog dvojca, Fernanda Alonsa i Felipea Masse.
Michael Schumacher bio je šesti najbrži ispred Vitalija Petrova i Adriana Sutila, dok je ovogodišnji svjetski prvak, Sebastian Vettel, završio na osrednjem devetom mjestu.
Izuzev izvrtanja Bruna Senne u zavoju br. 13, gdje je Brazilac oštetio prednje krilo, ozbiljnijih incidenata nije bilo.
