Spa: Heidfeld tops practice 3
Nick Heidfeld set a lap of 1m45.388s to top Saturday morning F1 practice at Spa, Belgium. Jarno Trulli was 2nd in his Toyota ahead of Adrian Sutil's Force India.
Romain Grosjean again outpaced his Renault teammate Fernando Alonso for an impressive fourth fastest.
He was another to set his 1m45.878s late-on, but on the following lap around the challenging Spa circuit, the Frenchman took a wild ride across the curbs at Fagnes.
Timo Glock continued Toyota's strong run in fifth ahead of Robert Kubica in the second BMW, Nico Rosberg and Giancarlo Fisichella.
At least the hapless Badoer was not dead last in this session, managing to beat Nakajima's Williams.
