Tambay leads wet GP3 practice
Adrien Tambay was quickest in very difficult conditions in the GP3 practice session at Spa
Practice was wet throughout, and by the end of the half hour fog was also descending over the circuit.
Manor driver Tambay emerged fastest with a 2m29.381s lap, following a late battle with Jenzer's Nico Muller and championship leader Esteban Gutierrez (ART) - beating them by half a second and one second respectively.
Tambay's team-mate Adrian Quaife-Hobbs was just behind Gutierrez in fourth, with Nigel Melker (Mucke) and Roberto Merhi (Atech CRS) completing the top six.
