Free Practice 3 results - India 2013 - A delayed session due to poor visibility sees Red Bull on top
Published by Christine
Free Practice was put off for twenty minutes when poor visibility stopped the medical helicopter taking off. When it did get going again, the tight schedule meant running had to be reduced to just forty minutes. Sebastian Vettel made it three for three at the top, whilst Esteban Gutiérrez struggled way down in 19th.
