    It was all going so well for Force India too.

    Perez is furious with himself. That was quite the impact.

    Confirmation that Hamilton ends FP3 fastest, two-and-a-half tenths quicker than Mercedes' team-mate Nico Rosberg.

    Sergio Perez into the wall at Turn 15, his right rear tyre hanging off the Force India. That'll be the end of the session.

  7. Hamilton goes fastestpublished at 11:59

    Lewis Hamilton is pushing. Two-tenths faster than Nico Rosberg in the first sector. Can he keep it up? Still a tenth-and-a-half up in the second sector.

    Across the line and yes - a 1.44.352, over a second faster than he'd gone before.

    Amit Mandalia: If Mercedes disappear, it’s looking like Red Bull, Ferrari, Williams & Force India are quite close to each other this weekend.

    Five minutes to go in FP3. Still ROS-HUL-HAM the top three.

    Ooh, close for Nico Rosberg who almost understeers into the wall at the first corner.

    Fernando Alonso goes eighth for McLaren.

    Daniel Ricciardo has got out of the Red Bull and his session appears to be over. The Aussie is currently fourth.

  12. Hulk goes secondpublished at 11:52

    Sergio Perez was third in FP2 and Force India continue to look good - Nico Hulkenberg has just gone 0.003 faster than Lewis Hamilton to move second.

  13. Rosberg goes eight-tenths quickerpublished at 11:49

    Nico Rosberg is on a quick one, sliding it round the Baku circuit, particularly a big one at Turn 18.

    What can he do? 1.44.610 - eighth-tenths faster than he'd gone before.

    The German looked particularly racey there on super-softs.

    Here comes Hamilton...

    Daniel Ricciardo goes third, 0.185 behind Rosberg, with a 1.45.620.

    Rosberg's time is over a second slower than Lewis Hamilton managed yesterday but the track temperature is significantly hotter than on Friday.

    Not ideal preparation for qualifying to say the least...
