British GP: Hamilton leads final practice

Hamilton tops the Mercedes row

Proving F1 is 99.9% car and 0.1% driver, i.e. an engineering exercise not a sport, drivers times for practice 3 for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone were dictated by what team you drove for.
Row 1: Mercedes Row
Row 2: Ferrari Row
Row 3: Toro Rosso Row
Row 4: Williams Row

Lewis Hamilton clocked a time of 1m32.917s on the medium tire, 0.552 seconds clear of Rosberg to lead the Mercedes row. Rosberg, who has won three of the last four races, was stuck in the garage for much of the final half of the Saturday morning session while Mercedes investigated a gearbox oil leak.

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen third ahead of Sebastian Vettel to lead the Ferrari row. Vettel was one of a number of drivers who ran wide at Copse corner, was fourth, a second behind Hamilton.

Max Verstappen led the Toro Rosso row fractionally quicker than teammate Carlos Sainz Jr in sixth.
