Russian GP: Free Practice #3 - Re-Cap & Times

RUSSIAN GP - FREE PRACTICE #3 - RE-CAP & TIMES 

    Ferrari continued to show pace as Sebastian Vettel set the quickest time of the last practice session with a 1:34.001, while his team-mate, Raikkonen, finished second just behind him with a 1:34.338. Bottas, Hamilton and Verstappen completed the top 5.

    Jolyon Palmer had a less than productive session after he reported having 'No power'. His session was over soon after that and the Renault mechanics went to work on getting his engine changed in time before Qualifying. Meanwhile, other Renault driver, Hulkenberg, set the 7th fastest time with a 1:35.662.

    Daniil Kvyat had an off-track moment in the session and former team-mate, Ricciardo, momentarily stopped on-track in the final few moments, prompting yellow flags for a few moments. He was able to get going again and the session finished without further issues.

    One of the most talked about things so-far this weekend is the '#BillyWhizz' stickers popping up on the cars and helmets of the drivers. This is in honour of Billy Monger, a young F4 driver who was recently involved in a traumatic accident that resulted in the amputation of both of his legs below the knee. Monger is now recovering from the surgeries and already trying to figure out how to race with a hand clutch.
