Nico Roseberg was once again quickest during practice for the British Grand Prix, whilst team-mate Lewis Hamilton dropped back to fourth behind the Ferraris.
The Briton made a mistake on his quick lap, which meant he eventually finished over four-tenths back, with both Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel topping Hamilton’s time.
