Day 3 of testing at the Jerez circuit in Spain was another eventful day. Luckily there was no more rain, although the track surface was quite damp and slick. The first Red Flag was actually caused when Nasr had a spin in the Sauber and got stuck in the gravel trap.
McLaren looked to be making progress and Alonso had racked up quite a few laps until something with the water pressure forced the team to call it a day. Lotus was facing telemetry issues which limited their running most of the morning. Mercedes also dealt with problems when Nico Rosberg stopped on track, causing the second Red Flag of the day. Red Bull had to change the engine in their car as well.
However, despite Felipe Nasr's small spin in the early morning, the young Brazilian ended the day on the top of the time-sheets.
Here are the times from Day 3:
1. Felipe Nasr - 1:21.545 / Sauber-Ferrari
2. Kimi Raikkonen - 1:21.750 / Ferrari-Ferrari
3. Nico Rosberg - 1:21.982 / Mercedes-Mercedes
4. Felipe Massa - 1:22.276 / Williams-Mercedes
5. Pastor Maldonado - 1:22.713 / Lotus-Mercedes
6. Carlos Sainz - 1:23.187 / Toro Rosso-Renault
7. Daniel Ricciardo - 1:23.901 / Red Bull-Renault
8. Fernando Alonso - 1:35.553 / McLaren-Honda
