FP3 Result: Norris delivers mighty lap as Ferrari pace disappears in Baku

The McLaren driver stormed to another commanding performance, finishing over two-tenths of a second ahead of Max Verstappen. The British driver, who led the first free practice of the Azerbaijan weekend, clocked the fastest lap of 1:41.223.

The pair were followed by Oscar Piastri, who set the third-fastest lap time, just under a tenth behind Verstappen.

Scuderia Ferrari, however, were a little off the pace they showed during FP2, with Hamilton mustering up a fourth-place finish and Charles Leclerc only able to manage a tenth-place finish.

Kimi Antonelli led the Mercedes during the session, finishing in fifth place ahead of Russell in sixth. Alex Albon clocked the seventh-fastest time ahead of Ollie Bearman, who led much of the early part of the session. Liam Lawson finished in ninth ahead of Leclerc.
