Fabio Leimer remained the quickest driver in GP2 post-season testing at Jerez.
The Swiss driver remained with Racing Engineering, whom he had been fastest for in both sessions on Wednesday. He was again quickest on Thursday morning, 0.142 seconds quicker than Auto GP driver Fabio Onidi of Coloni. GP3 graduate Nigel Melker was third for Arden, ahead of Super Nova returnee Javier Villa and Coloni's Kevin Ceccon.
Jules Bianchi was quickest in the afternoon for his regular team ART, but was half a second shy of his time from the morning, which had been good enough for seventh fastest. Trident Racing drivers Sam Bird and Julian Leal were second and third.
