Bruno Senna, R31-04
P16, 1:40.451, 19 laps
Vitaly Petrov, R31-06
P7, 1:39.612, 20 laps
A dry yet overcast Saturday morning in Yeongam allowed Lotus Renault GP to take part in an uninterrupted third practice session as both Vitaly and Bruno gave Pirelli’s soft and super soft tyre compounds their maiden outings of the weekend.
Although using softs for most of his trouble-free session, Vitaly out-paced his team mate on the faster super soft tyre with a time of 1min 39.612secs, which left him in seventh position after 20 laps around the Korean International Circuit.
Birthday boy Bruno was less fortunate. Brief contact with the side wall before the session’s halfway mark resulted in a damaged front wing, and forced the Brazilian to return to the garage for a suspension set-up change.
On returning to the track, he clocked-in with a best time of 1min 40.451secs on the super soft tyre. The time left him 16th in the standings having completed 19 laps.
At the top end of the rankings, it was a case of Rule Britannia as Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton took the top two times of the session.
