Weather: Overcast, 24ºC
Tarmac: Dry, 34.3ºC

The final practice was despite the weather forecasts earlier this week dry.
Kimi Raikkonen was the first to clock a lap time in the Ferrari on Supersoft tyres, just like he did in yesterday's FP2.
Lewis Hamilton had a problem with his Mercedes that had to be fixed in the pit as it was smoking a lot. After ten minutes Hamilton drove out the garage again and drove the 2nd quickest lap time. His car was still smoking a bit.
With 20 minutes to go Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel push hard and drove the first lap ever under the 1.08. The German driver drove a 1:07.948 and was 0.5 seconds faster than Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen at that time.
A few laps later Hamilton pushed out a better lap time but didn't beat the time of Vettel and had to settle for 3rd.
