Britain’s Lewis Hamilton has crushed the field in practice 3 today, finishing fastest by 0.006 of a second, Alonso was 7th, 0.6 of a second behind Lewis.

The track was as hot as ever, with track temperatures reaching a scorching 40°C and air temperatures reaching 30°C, the drivers would have been under immense heat and humidity as humidity reached a huge 55%.

The Bmw’s of Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica finished 3rd and 4th respectively, with them 0.2 seconds behind Lewis. Its certainly going to be an interesting qualifying session, which starts in under 2 hours.

Anthony Davidson surprised many by finishing the session 5th in the super Aguri Honda, he again finished in front of Fernando by 0.3 seconds.

There were a number of incidents on the circuit today, with David Coulthard and Scott Speed stopping in the RB3/STR02, the causes of which we don’t know.
