The third practice session did not see any major incidents disrupt its proceedings, but some teams experienced a few technical issues.<\/p>\n

The first half-hour of the session saw most teams running on hard tires, setting the initial lap times, with Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bull as the benchmark time, while his teammate, Mark Webber, only completed an installation lap due to KERS issues.<\/p>\n

The Mercedes then moved up the hierarchy by using the soft tires, quickly joined by the McLaren, Ferrari, and Renault drivers, before the young German clocked a time under 1’35. At the back of the grid, the HRT drivers did not repeat their Friday performance and recorded the 23rd and 24th fastest times of the session.<\/p>\n
