Bahrain GP: Free Practice 3 - Re-Cap & Results

Another good practice session for both Mercedes & Ferrari, with the top 4 being Hamilton, Vettel, Rosberg & Raikkonen.

Hamilton's best time of the session was in the 1:34s, despite suffering from a 'Hot seat' again.

The session was Red Flagged for a few minutes after Daniil Kvyat had a spin in his Red Bull and got stuck in the gravel. A tractor was called out to retrieve the car.

Pastor Maldonado lost part/s of his monkey seat while doing a lap. No word on if there was contact between him and another driver. But, either way it was a good session for him, finishing in 7th, while Romain Grosjean struggled with the Lotus and finished 18th.

Here are the times from the session.
