Jean Eric Vergne tops rain shortened WSR session.

A dry track was a nice change for the drivers this aftenoon in Catalunya and the drivers made the most of it by going out to collect some valuable data set some early times.
With 1 hour of the afternoon session complete everybody had been out to set a time apart from the 2 Mofaz cars and Anton Nebylitskiy.
Carin driver Jean Eric Vergne was quickest after posting a time of 1'34"4 almost half a second clear of Daniel Zampieri (1'34"89) and the 2 ISR cars of Daniel Ricciardo (1'35"15) and Nathanael Berthon respectively (1'35"17). 24 year old Spaniard Sergio Canamasas completed the top 5 (1'35"67).

The changeing conditions left some drivers very frustrated like Brit Oli Webb who after going quickest came into the box to make a change and fit new tyres only for the rain to start falling again after 9 people, now in front of him, had managed to get lucky and post better times on their new set. "such bad luck" Oli commented.
So as the rain fell once again the top ten was Vergne, Zampieri, Ricciardo, Berthon, Hartley, Korjus, Charouz, Canamasas, Mckenzie and Webb.
With the rain falling so heavily making the track undriveable this was to be the end of the action seen on track today meaning Frenchman Jean Eric Vergne takes the honor of setting the fastes time over the 2 days.
