CBSSports.com wire reports
JEREZ, Spain -- Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo capped a three-day Formula One testing session for young drivers on Thursday by setting the week's fastest time.
The British F3 champion set a quickest time of 1 minute, 17.418 seconds from 77 laps around the Jerez circuit in mostly dry conditions that included a brief shower.
Paul Di Resta of Force India was second, more than a second behind Ricciardo.
Gary Paffett of McLaren was third ahead of Mercedes GP driver Mike Conway and Niko Hulkenberg of Williams.
These sessions are meant to give young drivers experience, as teams are banned from testing during the F1 season.
