F1 – Barcelona testing day 3, Roseberg fastest

Nico Rosberg was the fastest driver on the third day of testing at Barcelona and Mclaren suffered with reliability

Mixed weather conditions made reading into the times even more difficult than usual today although Rosberg was clearly fastest on the dry track

Vitaly Petrov was second-fastest for Renault ahead of the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton.

As rain fell in the morning many teams chose to start their day using the full wet tyres. The track dried throughout the session and the drivers were eventually able to switch to full slicks.

In the slippery conditions driver error were the main causes of interruptions. Rookies Pastor Maldonado and Sergio Perez caused a red flag apiece and Felipe Massa triggered two in his Ferrari.

Among the drivers delayed by technical problems was Jarno Trulli as another water leak had to be repaired on the Lotus. He later improved to sixth-fastest at the end of the day.

As the session came to an end a final red flag was caused by Mark Webber in the Red Bull.
