2013 GERMAN GP: SEBASTIAN VETTEL DOMINANT ON FP3

Sebastian Vettel set the fastest time of final practice for the German Grand Prix as Red Bull showed impressive qualifying pace, overshadowing countryman Nico Rosberg.

Mark Webber was close behind Rosberg in third place having completed his qualifying simulation earlier than his team-mate, with the Ferrari pair of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa fourth and fifth but over a second off the pace set by Vettel.

Lewis Hamilton struggled with the handling of his Mercedes, complaining of oversteer throughout the early stages of the session and on returning to the garage told the team: "I can't drive the car now, the car is just so unstable at the rear."
