Today's practice session ended in a similar manner to yesterday's two sessions: with Lewis Hamilton in the front. Hamilton was two tenths faster than his team mate Rosberg and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, and the two Mercedes cars do once again appear to be the cars to beat. Toro Rosso's package show some clear promise, with Sainz jr scoring 4th fastest time, ahead of Ferrari's Räikkönen, and team mate Verstappen scoring 6th fastest time. Williams could have to fight for their title as the 'best of the rest' this year. McLaren had another troublefree session, and both drivers stalked Perez for 10th fastest time. Manor accidentally released rookie driver Rio Haryanto right into Romain Grosjean's Haas. As a result, the Manor driver will drop 3 places on the grid tomorrow. Fortunately, both Grosjean and Haryanto could continue the session. No other incidents occurred.
FP3: Hamilton once again fastest
