Vettel completes clean sweep of practice for Ferrari
SOCHI, Russia -- Sebastian Vettel continued Ferrari's dominance of the Russian Grand Prix weekend in a topsy-turvy FP3 which hinted at a fascinating qualifying session later in the day.
Vettel picked up where he left off in FP2 on Friday afternoon to go quickest in Saturday's 60-minute session, with a 1:34.001. That put him 0.337s up on Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen and 0.363s up Valtteri Bottas in the lead Mercedes. Though Mercedes has traditionally reserved its most powerful engine setting for qualifying since the introduction of the V6 turbos in 2014, the session confirmed Ferrari has the pace to compete for pole position on Saturday.
