| Welcome to F1-Live.com and our live coverage of the British Grand Prix race weekend. The third and final practice session ahead of qualifying begins shortly. |
| 09:52:15
| On track and Ferrari dominated the Friday running with Kimi Raikkonen setting the pace on a 1:20.639s best with Felipe Massa second fastest half a second adrift. The F2007 seems better suited to the faster and more sweeping circuits such as Magny Cours and Silverstone and it would be a surprise if a red car does not line-up on the pole on Sunday. |
| 09:54:27
| Toyota are going well which reflects their test pace at this circuit a few weeks ago. Ralf Schumacher was a fine third fastest with Jarno Trulli fifth. A difficult season so far and this weekend could bring a good result. |
| 09:56:16
| Over at McLaren Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton set the fourth best time yesterday with Fernando Alonso sixth fastest. There is undoubtedly more pace to come from the McLaren package, but at over seven and nine-tenths adrift of Raikkonen respectively, there is some way to go. |
| 09:58:33
| Nico Rosberg and Alex Wurz were firmly in the top ten for Williams Toyota and will aim to end the day that way as well, especially Wurz who has had a dismal time of qualifying so far this year. Mark Webber set the ninth best time in his Red Bull ahead of Anthony Davidson in the leading Super Aguri. |
| 10:00:05
| The third practice session is now underway. After sitting out the afternoon session yesterday with back pain, Jenson Button is back behind the wheel of his Honda. |
| 10:00:35
| It is a lot warmer than yesterday and the wind is not as strong. Good conditions for the 22 racers. |
| 10:01:51
| Most of the field are now out on track and and completing what will be an installation lap. |
| 10:04:14
| Only Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen have yet to leave the pit lane. That is normal Saturday morning routine for the Ferrari duo. The others have returned to the pits for checks. |
| 10:05:25
| Jenson Button has actually started a second lap in his Honda. |
| 10:06:32
| Button completes the first timed lap of the session. |
| 10:07:02
| Perhaps Button feels the need to get moving with the programme after missing yesterday's afternoon session. |
| 10:08:05
| The Honda racer trims his best lap seven tenths of a second and is about a second slower than Barrichello's Friday best. |
| 10:09:50
| Davidson heads out in his Super Aguri. He was tenth fastest yesterday. Now Albers, Sutil and Trulli head out. |
| 10:11:08
| Sato, Kubica and Liuzzi join the action. |
| 10:12:38
| Jarno Trulli moves fastest from Button with Davidson third. Ralf Schumacher and Nick Heidfeld head out. |
| 10:13:17
| Trulli is on another fast lap, and retains P1 ahead of Kubica and Davidson. |
| 10:14:09
| BMW were off the pace on Friday, but that was the case as well in Magny Cours practice. They may have slipped back a little on the front runners but should be firmly in the top ten. |
| 10:14:56
| Button pits after his first stint. Kubica moves fastest and is already faster than he managed yesterday by four tenths. |
| 10:15:48
| The lap times keep improving by the lap and now it is Tonio Liuzzi fastest in his Toro Rosso Ferrari. |
| 10:16:03
| Kimi Raikkonen heads out for the first time. |
| 10:17:16
| Kubica regains the fastest time for BMW. |
| 10:17:41
| Kubica slows his F1.07 and has a problem. |
| 10:18:17
| As Kubica hits trouble, team-mate Nick Heidfeld and Ralf Schumacher move first and second |
| 10:18:49
| Nico Rosberg is up to third in his Williams Toyota as Kubica makes his way slowly back to the pits. |
| 10:19:08
| Now Raikkonen vaults fastest in his Ferrari. |
| 10:20:53
| Felipe Massa heads out for the first time. Alonso and Hamilton remain pit bound. |
| 10:21:43
| Raikkonen trims two tenths off his own best and records the fastest lap of the weekend to date. |
| 10:22:03
| Alonso heads out as both Renault's make some gains. |
| 10:23:17
| Massa moves second fastest in the F2007. |
| 10:23:37
| Hamilton joins Alonso on track for McLaren. |
| 10:24:02
| Raikkonen is on another hot lap. |
| 10:24:37
| Alonso moves second fastest and for a few seconds before Massa improves again. |
| 10:24:55
| Raikkonen lowers his own best time by another four tenths. |
| 10:25:38
| Now Alonso takes over at the top. |
| 10:27:04

| 10:27:47
| Kovalainen picks up two positions and then heads to the Renault pit. |
| 10:28:48
| Hamilton moves fourth fastest as Alonso now pits his MP4-22 |
| 10:30:15
| Massa is on a better lap but pits before recording the time. |
| 10:31:53
| Most of the front runners have pitted. Toyota have both Schumacher and Trulli on track. |
| 10:32:59
| Scott Speed moves sixth fastest in his Toro Rosso. He was happier with the balance of the STR2 yesterday than team-mate Liuzzi. |
| 10:36:01
| Schumacher remains on track but is not making gains. The same for Fisichella down in 12th position. |
| 10:36:23
| Tonio Liuzzi is out and looking to see if he can match Speed. |
| 10:37:02
| Raikkonen is back out for his second run as Liuzzi moves ninth fastest. |
| 10:38:05
| Fisichella is picking up the pace in his Renault. So far this weekend his team-mate has been the faster of the two. |
| 10:39:01
| Fisichella moves ninth just behind Kovalainen. Raikkonen is on a fast lap and Alex Wurz has spun his Williams. |
| 10:39:42
| Massa is back out. Raikkonen makes a big gain and is fastest by four tenths. |
| 10:40:41
| Heidfeld (11th) is back out. Alonso joins the action. |
| 10:41:40
| Heidfeld improves to fifth fastest. Felipe Massa runs off track. |
| 10:41:59
| The Brazilian recovers and starts another lap. |
| 10:43:59
| Alonso and Massa continue to lap at a similar pace. Hamilton is just starting his second stint. |
| 10:45:58
| Button moves up to 12th in his Honda. |
| 10:47:04
| Hamilton givs up on that run and pits. |
| 10:48:16
| Liuzzi, tenth, runs off track in his Toro Rosso. |
| 10:48:45
| The session started fairly bright, but clouds are moving in even if they are not rain clouds as yet. |
| 10:51:03
| Liuzzi gains ground and is now sixth fastest just a fraction slower than Speed. |
| 10:51:38
| Only Button, Liuzzi and Rosberg on track with eight minutes to go. |
| 10:51:58
| Now only Rosberg on track as he looks to improve. |
| 10:52:49
| Rosberg moves fifth fastest. |
| 10:54:31
| Raikkonen and some of the others are going back out now with just over five minutes remaining. As ever the circuit will be busy at the end of the session. |
| 10:55:52
| Barrichello vaults tenth fastest. |
| 10:56:12
| Wurz also makes big gains on his last lap. |
