Hungaroring FP3: Rosberg very close to Hamilton

Under cloudy skies at the Hungaroring, Mercedes did not have it all their own way at the start of final practice.

Although Nico Rosberg set the early pace, he was edged by Fernando Alonso, Daniel Ricciardo and Valtteri Bottas, while Hamilton struggled to put a lap together.

Complaining that he “can’t stop the car”, the British racer ran off the track several times before heading back into the pits.
