European GP: Free Practice 3 - Re-Cap & Times


EUROPEAN GRAND PRIX (AZERBAIJAN) - FREE PRACTICE #3

The last practice session saw Mercedes leading the time sheets again, with Hamilton in 1st and Rosberg in 2nd. Nico Hulkenberg rounded up the top 3. 

    Valtteri Bottas missed the full session due to damage to his car after hitting a loose drain cover at the end of pit-lane. The team was unable to get him out for the session but managed to get the car ready in time for Qualifying.

    Sergio Perez was looking to have a strong time at the end of the session, but ended up crashing at turn 15, the same turn that took out Ricciardo in FP1. Perez ended up needing a gearbox change and will take a 5-Place-Grid-Penalty for the race. He was able to make it out in time for Qualifying and finished 2nd. But with the penalty, Perez will instead start 7th.
