Nico Rosberg has been the fastest driver of the day and the weekend, with Lewis Hamilton very close to him. Both Mercedes have shown a big superiority over the rest of the teams, but Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso had some traffic in their good laps, so it seems that the Australian can still approach to the top of the time sheet.
Sergio Pérez has had an issue with rear left tire, but television has not shown any image of the moment when he had the puncture, and if we take the words of Martin Withmarsh and Sergio Pérez, it seems that the tyre exploded suddenly, so there will be a new controversy with Pirelli.
We also saw a lot of troubles at Turn 14 (Chapel), track’s condition seemed to be hard there and at turn 6, so the qualifying lap will have to be more accurate than ever.
