Local hero Fernando Alonso topped the timesheets on day three of this
week's pre-season test at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona on
Thursday.
The Spaniard - behind the wheel of Ferrari’s new F138 for a third
consecutive day - set his best time on a short run in the morning session
with soft-compound tyres.
Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg clocked the second-quickest time of the day, with
Romain Grosjean third fastest in the Lotus E21.
