Chinese GP: Vettel and Ferrari dominate EL3

La Team Ferrari dominated the 3rd practice session of the Chinese GP where the drivers chained the laps to make up for the delay made the day before with the cancellation of the second session. Sebastian Vettel achieved the best time of the dry session with a time of 1'33''336 on super soft tires with half a tenth ahead of his teammate Kimi Räikkönen.

The Mercedes are the closest, but the delay on the SF70H is significant since Valtteri Bottas points at more than 3 tenths while Lewis Hamilton is more than half a second late.

Felipe Massa completes the top five, already more than a second behind the benchmark. THE Williams FW40 surround Red Bull RB13 Max Verstappen et Daniel Ricciardo the Renault R.S 17 by Jolyon Palmer and Nico Hulkenberg surround the Toro Rosso STR12 Carlos Sainz Jr who completes the top ten.

Kevin Magnussen (Haas) is 12th, already more than 2 seconds behind Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari, ahead of his teammate by 3 tenths Romain Grosjean which follows Sergio Pérez's Force India. Esteban Ocon (Force India) ranked 16th between the Toro Rosso of Daniil Kvyat and the McLaren MCL32 Fernando Alonso. Stoffel Vandoorne (McLaren) finished 19th surrounded by the Sauber C36s of Marcus Ericsson and Antonio Giovinazzi.
