It was all change at the Paul Ricard circuit today on the third day of testing. The rain which had been predicted arrived, the circuit was reconfigured to simulate the Gilles Villenuve circuit in Montreal and Jarno Trulli was the suprise fastest during Friday's session.
The heavy rain arrived at 10am and it was Trulli who set the pace with a lap time of 1m31.360s, closely followed by an impressive Nelsinho Piquet who set a time of 1m31.634s. Inevitably the weather put a limit on the amount of laps the drivers could complete, most drivers being frustrated by the lack of testing they could complete. Of the three drivers leading the championship, only Felipe Massa completed any laps in the wet.
Top 5 times from day 3:
1. Jarno Trulli (Toyota) 1m31.360s
2. Nelsinho Piquet (Renault) 1m31.634
3. Pedro de La Rosa* (McLaren-Mercedes) 1m32.143s
4. Sebastian Vettel (Toro Rosso) 1m32.480s
5. Felipe Massa (Ferrari) 1m33.246s
