Play F1 | FP3 in Sochi: Williams pretty close to Mercedes

Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton took control of the third and final practice session in Russia on Saturday, finishing almost three tenths of a second clear of the chasing pack despite a late spin on what was set to be his best lap of the session.

Hamilton’s team mate Nico Rosberg and Williams’ Valtteri Bottas were the only men to get within one second of Hamilton, with Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo rounding out the top four.
