training

It rained in the first free practice. For this reason, eleven pilots did without a timed lap. Raikkonen did not even go on the track at all. Daniel Ricciardo achieved the fastest lap ahead of Nico Hülkenberg and Pastor Maldonado . Ricciardo was also the first driver to set a lap time after 75 minutes. Shortly before the end of training, Charles Pic damaged the front wing when it came into contact with the wall. Originally, James Rossiter was supposed to take over Force India from Adrian Sutil in this training . Due to the bad weather, the racing team decided not to use Rossiter and let Sutil drive in the car. In the second free practice session the track dried up, so the drivers switched to slicks. Nico Rosberg was the fastest pilot ahead of Webber and Vettel. Felipe Massa ended the training early after an accident in the Stowe . Massa was the only driver to fail a 107 percent time on Friday .

In the third free practice session the track was dry. Rosberg set the fastest time ahead of his teammates Hamilton and Vettel.

In the second segment, Vettel was ahead. The McLaren drivers as well as Maldonado, Hülkenberg, Jean-Éric Vergne and Massa did not make it into the final section. In the final segment, Hamilton set the fastest time and achieved pole position in front of his teammates Rosberg and Vettel.
