After a short Friday due to red flags it's time for the final practice before qualifying this afternoon. Friday's practice was mainly about the long runs, today we will get a better view of the qualifying runs. Can Red Bull Racing and home favourite Max Verstappen achieve pole position or will Mercedes or Ferrari be the favourites to start qualifying? You can follow it all in the liveblog of GPblog!

LIVE: Third free practice 

 


Because of Sebastian Vettel's red flag yesterday during FP1 there wasn't much time left for the drivers to go on track. Also in FP2 there were two red flags. Today the teams will fine tune the cars and the drivers will practice their fast laps before the start of qualifying.

Ferrari, Mercedes or Red Bull?

Yesterday Ferrari was surprisingly the fastest team on track. This is not entirely unexpected because Zandvoort is also known as Monaco without walls, a circuit where Ferrari also proved to be strong. However, the red flags prevented Verstappen from setting a decent fast lap and the Dutchman has already revealed that Friday's session was a bit of a let down. Can he come back and how strong is Mercedes?
