With a day between the first two practice sessions and this third, there's time for teams to take a good look at the data and see where they're going right, and where things are going right. With a new selection of tyre compounds to try and understand, the more time, the better.

So far, though, you'd have to say it is still Red Bull on top at the moment, although Fernando Alonso did his bit in FP2. What can this final hour ahead of qualifying bring to the table?
