Ralf Schumacher in a Williams was second fastest with Pedro de la Rosa two seconds off the mark in the hybrid Jaguar.
Rookie driver McNish in the new Toyota team had a fair share of problems and had to wait in the garage while the team went to work. McNish got back on track and ended up fifth fastest of the day.
The teams hussled to re-adjust the cars for the wet conditions, a wise move as the track remained wet the remainder of the day.
Kimi Raikkonen in his debut outing for McLaren set sixth fastest and appeared to be pleased with the Mercedes powerplant. BAR Honda team test driver Anthony Davidson was fourth fastest of the day.
