A free of trouble FP3, but not less interesting. Sebastian Vettel has been fastest once again, but it doesn’t look like his Red Bull is as superior as in Australia, because he’s been closely followed by Hamilton and Sutil, less than a tenth behind.
The drivers have been doing long runs in the beginning of the practice. It is important to notice the problems that Red Bull has had with the medium compound and a lot of fuel.
As usual, the drivers have used the last minutes of the session to test for qualifying. Many of them have not been able to make a clear lap, so it won’t be until the end that we’ll really know where everyone really is.
