Rosberg fastest in third practice for British GP


Nico Rosberg slightly edged out his team-mate Lewis Hamilton and set top fastest lap-time in the third practice for British Grand Prix.

In the final attempt the German set quickest lap-time with 1:31.487, held a gain of 0.146 seconds over team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

Red Bull duo Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber took third and fourth fastest ahead of Lotus’s Romain Grosjean and Toro Rosso’s Daniel Ricciardo.

One of the remarkable situation happened in the session, following the McLaren’s Sergio Perez had a rear tyre failure. The Mexican’s left rear hard compound tyre comes out to blow up on the exit of the corner, damaging the floor and suspension of the car and back to the pit with three wheel.

Fernando Alonso set seventh fastest ahead of Lotus’ Kimi Raikkonen. Force India duo Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta set ninth and completed the top ten in the final practice session time-sheet.
