Spanish GP: Free Practice #3 - RE-CAP & TIMES


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

    Lewis Hamilton took first in the final practice session of the weekend, putting in a 1:17.281. He was just ahead of team-mate, Bottas, who set a 1:17.294.

    Vettel and Raikkonen were next in the order, finishing third and fourth respectively. Daniel Ricciardo completed the top 5 with a 1:17.981.

    It was another struggle of a session for Williams with both drivers down at the bottom. Lance Stroll did a 1:19.900 to take 19th, ahead of Sirotkin who was a bit slower with a 1:19.909 and ended the session in 20th.

    While a number of spins and through-the-gravel trips occurred, Brendon Hartley found himself super unlucky when he crashed heavily into the wall near Turn 9. Hartley was able to get out of the car after and cleared a medical check, but his Toro Rosso was in pieces. The tail-end of the car practically fell off whilst being lifted by the crane.

    Hartley missed Qualifying due to this, the team unable to get the car ready in time. However, he was given permission to race by the stewards.

    One team performing well in this session was Haas, with both drivers inside of the top 10. Kevin Magnussen finished up in 6th with a 1:18.357 and Grosjean was just behind in 7th, setting a 1:18.706.

    Sainz, Alonso and Gasly were also part of the top ten.

Spanish GP: Free Practice #2 - RE-CAP & TIMES


SPANISH GP - FREE PRACTICE #2 - RE-CAP & TIMES

    Lewis Hamilton topped the times in a messy second free practice session ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix.

    The reigning champion was one of a number of drivers to make mistakes during their qualifying simulations and couldn’t improve on the 1m18.259s time he set on the soft compound of tyres.

    With others also running into problems, Hamilton remained top of the order, ahead of Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen.

    Valtteri Bottas looked set to jump to the top of the times when he went out on the super soft compound of tyre, only to oversteer in the second part of the lap and fail to improve. He finished the day fifth quickest, behind Sebastian Vettel.

    Kimi Raikkonen also made a mistake on what could have been a strong lap, losing the rear of his Ferrari and running through the gravel. He was able to return to the track, but was later forced to pit with a suspected engine problem. He finished seventh quickest, ahead of Romain Grosjean, who brought out the virtual safety car when he beached his Haas at turn seven early in the session.

    Kevin Magnussen, Stoffel Vandoorne, and Sergio Perez completed the top 10.

    Perez brought out the second vitual safety car in the closing stages of the session when he was released on to the circuit with a loose front left wheel. Force India were later fined for the unsafe release.

    Esteban Ocon finished just outside the top 10 in P11, ahead of Fernando Alonso, Nico Hulkenberg, and Pierre Gasly.

    Marcus Ericsson and Charles Leclerc put their Saubers P15 and 16, ahead of Carlos Sainz, who complained about balance problems during the session.

    Brendon Hartley, Lance Stroll, and Sergey Sirotkin round out the order.
