Summary

Lewis Hamilton dominated the final day of testing before next weeks British Grand Prix. His time of 1m 19.170s was over half a second quicker than the surprise second place driver Timo Glock who had an excellent day in the Toyota beating Kimmi Raikonen into third place.

Force India continued to make improvements with new aero package and suspension upgrade. Sutil finished the day ahead of the Honda and Torro Rosso cars.

The morning session was peppered with red flags. David Coulthard and Timo Glock had a coming together which resulted in Glock losing his rear wing and Coulthard taking no further part in the days proceedings. Kazuki Nakajima ended up in the gravel between Priory and Becketts while Sutil went of at the Abbey chicane. Fernando Alonso had to sit out most of the morning with an engine failure.

Thoughts now turn to next weeks race and lets hope that Lewis can maintain this advantage and give us the win we all hope and wish for……
