Pascal Wehrlein was seventh for Mercedes, with Audi’s Nico Müller next. Paul Di Resta took over in the afternoon from Daniel Juncadella to complete 80 laps, eight-tenths off the pace.

Tomorrow is the final day of the official pre-season testing at Hockenheim, with Robin Frijns, Nico Müller and Loïc Duval on duty for Audi. Timo Glock, Philipp Eng and Joel Eriksson will get behind the wheel for BMW, with Pascal Wehrlein, Lucas Auer and Paul Di Resta driving for Mercedes.
