Despite sandbagging from Ferrari, that was almost three tenths up on Valtteri Bottas's previous best, recorded on Wednesday.

In the afternoon the top runners focused on completing race simulations, and it was the Ferrari driver who topped the lap count as well as the times, racking up 156 laps.

Lewis Hamilton second for Mercedes, ahead of Force India's Esteban Ocon and Daniil Kvyat.

Kevin Magnussen moved up to fifth in the Haas with a best time of 1m20.504s on ultra-softs.

Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and McLaren's Stoffel Vandoorne were sixth and seventh.
