Yesterday was a mixed bag as both the Free Practice sessions saw different leaders. FP1 belonged to Alonso while FP2 to Hamilton and Mercedes continued its dominance in FP3 as Nico Rosberg topped the time charts.

 

Rosberg set a time of 1:29.375, an improvement over his time in FP2 (1:29.782) while the others tried their best to get close to his time. Rosberg was the only driver to set a time in the 1:29's. Team mate Hamilton too could not manage to surpass Rosberg and managed to come 4th fastest by setting a time of 1:30.919.

 

McLaren's Jenson Button and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso went 2nd and 3rd fastest by setting a time of 1:30.766 and 1:30.876 respectively.

 

Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg made a significant improvement from yesterday and went in 6th fastest ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen.

 

Sebastian Vettel looked absolutely wild when it came to his Red Bull car and the current defending champion could manage 12th place.
