Full results FP3: Hamilton and Verstappen to fight for pole position
Ahead of qualifying, Max Verstappen set the fastest time in the final free practice session. He showed that he is the favourite to take the first starting spot in Sunday's Grand Prix. Qualifying is likely to be an exciting duel between Red Bull Racing and Mercedes.
On Friday it seemed that Mercedes had the fastest car, but during the third free practice Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez showed that the Red Bull car has a lot of speed as well. Who will have the fastest time during qualifying, we will see at 14:00 UK time this afternoon. Behind Verstappen are Hamilton and Leclerc, who together with Carlos Sainz on P4 is showing that the Ferrari car has a lot of speed.
Also in the top ten are Valtteri Bottas, Lando Norris, Pierre Gasly, Daniel Ricciardo, Kimi Raikkonen and Sergio Perez. Norris had another excursion at the new turn ten, losing the rear of his car and sliding into the gravel trap. With Verstappen and Hamilton barely missing each other everything points to an exciting qualifying session on Saturday afternoon.
