Vitaly Petrov and Nick Heidfeld completed their preparations for the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring in a cold and grey skied dry third session of free practice ahead of this afternoon’s hour of qualifying.
Both drivers ran with the medium compound for the majority of the 60 minutes running before switching to the soft compound late on.
Vitaly was just shy of setting a top ten time with a 1min 32.777secs giving him eleventh position on the monitors whilst Nick’s 1m 33.072secs was left him 13th quickest.
After yesterday experimenting with a rearward direction exhaust experimental system on Nick’s car, today both R31s ran with the forward facing system which has been used all season.
Sebastian Vettel topped the times with a 1m 30.916s to head Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso.
