Britain 2011 - Free Practice 3 results - The weather cleared up enough for Vettel to return to the top
Published by Christine
There was more plenty more running to be had today as the weather cleared up enough for a relatively dry track. There was still moisture in the air, but attention could turn to the cars. Mark Webber struggled with some engine trouble, whilst Schumacher was held up by some issues with the floor of his car. Christian Horner was seen storming in and out of the FIA motorhome, and tension is high ahead of qualifying.
