The final practice session for the German Grand Prix was a battle of the heavy weights that saw Jenson Button triumph with an incredible time of one minute and 13.676 seconds.

Toyota’s Olivier Panis provided the catalyst for the hard-hitting fight when he set a time of one minute and 14.953 seconds.

The impressive result ignited an otherwise slow session with Fernando Alonso (Renault), Kimi Raikkonen (McLaren) and Juan Pablo Montoya (Williams) all staking their claim at the top.

But despite the trio’s impressive times it was Button that ended Saturday morning in the limelight with his lap that was over a second quicker than the Hockenheim lap record.

Michael Schumacher had been the man setting the benchmarks before the 45-minute run kicked off but as the pace quickened the Ferrari star fell away finishing the morning with a time of one minute and 14.459 seconds for seventh. He also managed to spin at the Sachs Kurve but didn't cause any damage to the car.

Takuma Sato (BAR) and Giorgio Pantano (Jordan) were the only men unable to record a result after they both crashed out of Saturday’s opening session.
