Lewis Hamilton has set the pace in final practice ahead of qualifying for the European Grand Prix at the all new Baku City Circuit.
After topping both practice sessions on Friday, Hamilton has continued this good form and looks to be the man to beat this weekend in Azerbaijan.
Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg was once again second fastest, two-tenths off Hamilton’s benchmark.
Force India continued to impress with Nico Hulkenberg ending FP3 in third place. Sergio Perez had been enjoying a strong session but crashed at Turn 15, heavily damaging the rear of his Force India.
After a difficult day on Friday, both Ferrari and Red Bull looked to be back on the pace albeit well down on Hamilton’s fastest time. Sebastian Vettel was fifth fastest while Daniel Ricciardo was one place higher in fourth.
Jenson Button continued McLaren’s strong form this weekend and was inside the top 10.
Williams’ Valtteri Bottas was unable to complete a flying lap after a loose drain cover damaged his car.
