Lewis Hamilton has been the quickest in the FP3, the last pratice session before the qualifying. However, Vettel is not far from him and both Bottas and Räikkönen have finished close to their respective team mates.
Session started with few activity during the first minutes as only the Renaults and Brendon Hartley did a lap until the first 15 minutes passed, when the drivers from the top three teams started to do laps.
The Ferraris were leading during a short time until Lewis Hamilton, who had been dominating the entire weekend, moved up to the top with a 1:35.125, four tenths ahead of Sebastian Vettel.
With the first half of the session passed, Max Verstappen had a minor mistake and, seconds later, Romain Grosjean ran wide on the same corner and got stuck on the gravel trap, which caused the deployment of the VSC.
Green flag waved with 20 minutes to go and top drivers went on track to get a good time. Verstappen improved to second, but Ferraris and Mercedes didn’t take much time to imrpove to 1:34, with Hamilton still on top.
Nothing changed and Hamilton took the best time with a 1:34.478. Vettel was second, less than a tenth behind the British driver. Both Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Räikkönen were 2 tenth behind, third and fourth respectively. Qualifying session will start later today, at 16:00 local time.
