Rosberg fastest at Silverstone

It was on a drying track that the third free practice session began. This does not mean that the cars have gone out, the teams preferring to wait until the track is completely dry, with the help of the wind. Nelson Piquet Jr is the first to set fast laps, before the inevitable Rosberg panics the times. Constantly improving, the German pilot of Williams brings the reference mark to 1?20??655. His teammate, Kazuki Nakajima, stands out in turn by taking the best time (1:20:256).

Jarno Trulli montre ensuite que les Toyota ont retrouvé toute leur compétitivité à Silverstone (1?20??087), avant que le pilote le plus rapide de la journée de vendredi, Sebastian Vettel, brings the best time below the 1?20?? mark, in 1?18??809. This time lasts almost the entire session but the arrival of the soft tires and the cars with low fuel loads will get the better of Vettel's time. Massa then Trulli thought they would get the lead but it was Rosberg's last flying lap which gave him the best time of this third session (1:18:899). The German was once again able to prove himself the fastest, but will have to prove in qualifying that his car is really in the tempo.
