The free practice three started here at the Nurburgring and the Force drivers lead a host of others onto the track and Perez is the first man looking to do a flying lap.
No major issues on the track but during the session both Lewis Hamilton and Pastor Maldonado complained about their cars and said that cannot drive them.
Alonso was the first man on the soft tyres and he stopped the clock at 1:30.621 but just a few laps later Webber and Rosberg improved on his time while in the dying minutes of the session Sebastian Vettel placed himself in P1 with a breath-taking time of just 1:29.517.
