German GP – Hamilton Stays Fastest

McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton again topped the timesheets in Saturday morning’s final practice session for the German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring, two-tenths of a second faster than Renault’s Fernando Alonso.

Running with a new aerodynamic package the Briton was quickest on Friday and he maintained his good form as he clocked one minute 31.121 seconds.

The Renault of Fernando Alonso was second and Ferrai’s Felipe Massa third.

Championship leader Jenson Button was down in 11th as the drivers struggled for grip in the cold conditions.

This morning’s session again took place in cold (12C) and overcast conditions, although this time the rain held off throughout the hour.

Ferrari have also come to Germany having made a few aerodynamic tweaks and they too appeared to pay dividends with both drivers in the top six.

But it was a different story for leading constructor Brawn GP as Button complained of being unable to get any heat into his front tyres.

The Briton’s team-mate, Rubens Barrichello, also struggled as he finished down in 14th.
