We'll be back on AUTOSPORT Live in the build-up to qualifying, which starts with Q1 at 1pm UK time. See you then.
Vettel then spun twice on Friday afternoon, and Raikkonen didn't get a qualifying simulation run this morning because his car suffered a water leak in FP3.
Neither of its cars were in the top 10 in FP3, but the British team often plays conservative in practice, so let's see if its cars end up in the Q3 mix.
Verstappen slots in third, four tenths down on Rosberg.
