The third and final day of Formula 1 testing at Mugello got underway on Thursday morning.

Temperatures were a little down on the day before, and the skies were overcast as the first cars rolled out of the garages at 9:00am. 

The biggest story of the day was Ferrari testing the first parts of a large upgrade package being planned for the Spanish Grand Prix.  Fernando Alonso's car was fitted with (what the team hopes is) improved rear bodywork and a new exhaust layout.

The Spaniard damaged the car during a visit to a gravel trap after barely an hour of running, but the team fixed the problem and Alonso was back out in the afternoon.

McLaren again handed the car to a reserve driver, this time Oliver Turvey.  Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button stayed away all week, making the Woking-based outfit the only team to not bring a race driver to the test.

Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), Romain Grosjean (Lotus), Paul di Resta (Force India), Timo Glock (Marussia) and Daniel Ricciardo (Toro Rosso) continued where they left off on Wednesday.

Alonso (Ferrari), Turvey (McLaren) and Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) returned after running on Tuesday, while Pastor Maldonado (Williams), Heikki Kovalainen (Caterham), Nico Hulkenberg (Force India) and Sergio Perez (Sauber) got their first taste of the action.

The fastest time of the day was again set by Grosjean, his 1:21.035 proving to be the best lap of the week, pipping Sebastian Vettel's best of 1:21.267. 

The full time sheet was as follows:
