Rain screwed third practice for the 2013 Brazilian F1 GP. Webber was fastest but a number of teams hardly let their cars out of the garage. We noticed paint drying on the office wall...
Red Bull's Mark Webber was fastest - for what it was worth on the soaking track - in third and final practice for the 2013 Brazilian F1 GP on Saturday.
Nico Rosberg (Germany) Mercedes, Fernando Alonso (Spain) Ferrari, Jenson Button (Britain) McLaren and Felipe Massa (Brazil) Ferrari stayed in their garages while braver souls went out and tried to entertain the sparse crowd.
The others, it seems, just wanted to preserve their cars for qualifying later in the afternoon - when it is likely that rain will still be falling.
Webber, was fastest on 1min27 while team mate Sebastian Vettel lounged around back in 17th though he was fastest for a while.
