Rosberg over Hamilton in final practice

Rosberg waits as team works on car

F1 points leader Nico Rosberg set the pace in final Formula 1 practice for the Spanish Grand Prix, but the top-3 are very tight.

The German's lap of 1m23.078s in the Mercedes was his first flying lap and that remained unbeaten in the one-hour session. Rosberg did not want to show his hand by trying any harder until qualifying

Teammate Lewis Hamilton was just 0.126s back with Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari just 0.147s slower than Rosberg.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen beat teammate Daniel Ricciardo as the two ran 4th and 5th.

Kimi Raikkonen was sixth ahead of Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez.

Kvyat, in his first weekend back with Toro Rosso, was 8th ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz Jr in ninth with McLaren's Fernando Alonso completing the top 10.
