Results third day of testing: Verstappen and Tsunoda miles ahead of the rest

Fast times in a winter test don't mean much of course, but they do look good. Especially for Yuki Tsunoda, who on his debut this weekend set the second-fastest time of the day, just behind Max Verstappen. All the others didn't come close to these two.

This is partly because AlphaTauri offered their new driver the chance to do some qualifying laps on the softest tyre (C5). We can therefore assume that his lap was at the limit.

Nevertheless, Max Verstappen, who drove on the harder C4, was one-tenth faster than the Japanese. Just like Friday, he ended the test as the fastest. He did drive a few laps less than the competition today, but that's probably because the rest of the test went so well for Red Bull Racing.

Lewis Hamilton is in fifth place, just over a second down. We have no idea how much fuel he was carrying on that lap. Just like on Saturday, Hamilton had a hard time keeping the W12 on track and spun when starting his fast lap.
