The Ferrari driver’s lap of 2 minutes, 0.797 seconds around the Spa circuit was just over 13 seconds off the fastest lap set by Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel last year.

McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton was second in 2:01.567, and Robert Kubica of Renault was third, just ahead of Vettel. Overall F1 leader Mar Webber was seventh in his Red Bull car — 2.129 seconds behind Alonso.

Drivers navigated the high-speed track with extra care as heavy spray accompanied their cars with every lap of the 90-minute session.
