F1-EL3: Hamilton ahead of Rosberg at Silverstone

After dominating the first two practice sessions at Silverstone, Nico Rosberg finally found himself stronger than him in Great Britain this Saturday morning. The former pilot Williams was beaten by his teammate at Mercedes Lewis Hamilton, the Briton having largely dominated the last session before qualifying, with the best time in 1'32 "917 (on medium tires), a margin of more than 0” on Rosberg. The German was once again stopped in his pit box for a while, following a gearbox problem.

Behind the two Silver Arrows, we find the two Ferrari de Kimi Räikkönen and Sebastian Vettel, the four-time world champion being followed very closely by the two Toro Rosso de Max Verstappen et Carlos Sainz, which confirms the good impressions seen yesterday in the Faenza clan.

The two Williams of Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas moved up the hierarchy, rising to 7th and 8th places. Daniil Kvyat (Red Bull) and Pastor Maldonado (Lotus) complete the top 10. New delicate session for McLaren, since Fernando Alonso was only able to complete six laps this Saturday morning.

The qualifying session will begin at 14 p.m. French time, and will be followed live on our website.
