Austria-EL3: Ferrari dominates, Rosberg in the rails
The image of the last hour of free practice at the Austrian Grand Prix will undoubtedly remain Nico Rosberg's exit from the track. The German driver went into the rail at the exit of turn 2 of the Spielberg track, following a broken suspension at the left rear of its W07 Hybrid.
Before this incident, the two single-seaters with the star had not particularly shone on the track on the Red Bull Ring, the fault in particular of a significant deterioration on the ultra-soft Pirelli tires with temperatures rising this Saturday morning. A problem that several drivers encountered during the session. After the Rosberg accident, Hamilton finally moved up to third position behind Hag, best time in 1’07″098 and Räikkönen, 136 thousandths behind his teammate.
The two Red Bulls of Daniel Ricciardo et Max Verstappen as well as both Williams de Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa follow in the standings ahead of Force India from Nico Hulkenberg and McLaren by Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso who climb into the top 10. The Spaniard damaged his car in the last minutes, passing the curbs of turn 8.
Qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix will begin at 14 p.m. and will be followed live on our website.
