Chinese GP: Webber tops practice 3

Australian Mark Webber topped the times in final practice for the Chinese Grand Prix on Saturday. The Red Bull driver set a best time of 1m35.323s to beat Lewis Hamilton by over two tenths of a second ahead of this afternoon's qualifying.

Malaysian Grand Prix winner Sebastian Vettel was third fastest in the second Red Bull, the German just edging world champion Jenson Button as McLaren and Red Bull set what looks to be a thrilling battle for pole.

Fernando Alonso completed the top five in the Ferrari, but the Spaniard was half a second off the pace set by Webber.
