Mercedes has made in the third free practice session for the British Grand Prix in Silverstone for the first time, seriously and with Valtteri Bottas (Finland) and world champion Lewis Hamilton (England) the competition distant. By contrast, Sebastian Vettel (Heppenheim) was not born in the Bock Ferrari also in the final Test before Qualifying (15.00/RTL and Sky) in striking distance. In 14th place, he had more than one and a half seconds behind the best time of Bottas.

Better returnee Nico Hülkenberg (Emmerich) made it. On Friday at very short notice for the positively Corona-tested Mexican Sergio Perez at Racing Point stepped in, drove Hulkenberg ninth-best time, but was still three tenths behind his team-mate Lance Stroll (Canada) on place four.

temperatures are around 17 degrees, a cloudy sky and treacherous side winds on the range is a completely different scenario, created as the heat of the battle on Friday. Sebastian Vettel did on Saturday, even with the changes in external conditions are not good. Several times he left the ideal line, fought with the Wind, and was at the end of more than a half-second slower than team-mate Charles Leclerc (Monaco), in sixth place.
