Ferrari enjoyed a one-two in the final practice on Saturday for the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, as Fernando Alonso outgunned teammate Felipe Massa late in the session.

Alonso, the two-time Formula One world champion, was 0.622sec quicker than Massa, who had topped the time charts in the afternoon session on Friday. Lewis Hamilton, recovering from a pollen allergy, was third-fastest in warm but dry conditions.

Alonso clocked a lap time of one minute 35.391sec to snatch the best time.

Reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel was fourth fastest, 0.895sec off title rival Alonso. Vettel’s estranged Red Bull Australian teammate Mark Webber came home fifth quickest.

He was followed by the Force India of Adrian Sutil, ahead of Lotus’ Kimi Raikkonen. Jenson Button of McLaren, teammate Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg of Sauber rounded out the top 10.

Hamilton’s Mercedes co-driver Nico Rosberg, winner in Shanghai last year and who topped the first practice, had only the 14th-best time after suspension trouble forced him to sit out the crucial last minutes of the session.

Qualifying for Sunday’s race is later on Saturday.
