Hamilton fastest during FP3

By on

During the third and final free practice session of the Australian Grand Prix, McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton was the fastest man on track. The Briton was followed by Lotus F1's Romain Grosjean and Red Bull's Mark Webber. The teams now prepare for the first qualifying session of the 2012 season.

During the session, several drivers ended up in the gravel trap. Michael Schumacher was one of them. A bit earlier on in the session, Sebastian VEttel also outbraked himself and spun into the gravel, meaning he wouldn't run anymore on the softer tyre.
