Sebastian Vettel scares at the third session of free practice, after eight tenths to teammate Mark Webber and a whole to Lewis Hamilton, third runner-up of the meeting, with Jenson Button just be put back. The McLaren are still there.
After the two teams which today seem to be stronger, Vitaly Petrov, with Lotus Renault GP, followed by Fernando Alonso, sixth, and a surprising Kamui Kobayashi. Completing the top ten have to Nico Rosberg, Nick Heidfeld and Michael Schumacher, in the second Mercedes.
Jaime Alguersuari has been rather up in the standings for a long time, but in the end some times of the fastest drivers have left you more behind. Despite this, a thirteenth position isn't wrong. But the Toro Rosso can aspire to a lot more.
In Hispania, after the failure of the meeting of yesterday, they tried to get out today to track again, but after a mysterious problem that the team has not been able to identify, the car of Vitantonio Liuzzi has stopped after just one lap on the track.
narain karthikeyan, for its part, It was able to go to track and set a time, although it has been seventeen seconds slower than the fastest time of Vettel. For now, by the statements of Liuzzi after their problems, does not seem to be very confident to get out to the race on Sunday.
Within little more than an hour, the first official training session will take place, with many unknowns still to reveal, because, despite all that we have seen, I have the feeling that we know all the truth about the performance of the equipment.
