Malaysia 2008: Free Practice 3 - Hoping the final practice hour will live up to the excitement of the first two

Published by Mr. C

Saturday, and the third and final free practice session. After the excitement yesterday of a somewhat fragile Red Bull and yet more evidence that Ferrari are losing the proverbial plot, there doesn't appear to be a whole heap of news today.

At some point presumably the stewards will decide if 'le bull rouge' is safe to drive (even though it has already passed all mandatory FIA crash tests), and I'm sure we'll be informed at their leisure.

As for the track, it's still dry, and the weather map suggests it'll stay that way for the remainder of the upcoming one hour practice session. This is bound to annoy the teams who seem keen to get some wet testing in before a potential wet race start.

ITV aren't providing viewers (I'll stop staying 'UK' viewers, given most of the world appears to be able to tune in using a simple proxy trick), with live video this session, so we'll be tuned into TVlizer. It's not great quality broadcasting, so if you hear of anything better please shout.

Also, we have the obligatory live timing link.

Also, if you're on European time and braved an early morning start, then very well done. We appear to have completely ruined our body clocks this past 8 days, so next year we're planning on going to every flyaway, just to get a lie in!
