Williams's Rosberg again left it late to claim the session's fastest lap

Williams's Nico Rosberg clocked the fastest practice lap for the third session in a row in Melbourne before the real business of qualifying begins.

All six cars from Williams, Toyota and Brawn GP - the teams fighting off questions about the legality of their diffusers - finished in the top eight.

Ferrari's Felipe Massa was fourth and the first 11 cars bettered Lewis Hamilton's pole time in 2008.

McLaren's Hamilton showed improvement to match that time and finish 12th.

Qualifying starts at 0600 GMT on Saturday.
