Nico Hulkenberg marked his first day of 2016 action with an impressive display as Force India finished quickest on Day Three in Barcelona. The German posted a best time of 1:23.110, the second quickest of the week so far.What made the lap more impressive was despite being set on the supersoft tyres, Hulkenberg was only two tenths slower than the benchmark time set by compatriot Sebastian Vettel on Day Two using the quicker ultrasoft tyres on his Ferrari. It is impossible to know how much fuel both cars had onboard for their respective laps, with Hulkenberg posting the time on just a three-lap run.
