During the third free practice session, the Mercedes and Ferrari teams again showed that they were the squad lords. Max Verstappen had to settle for fifth place and his team-mate Danil Riccardo finished sixth. The Red Bull team misses speed on long straight lines.
During the free practice session, the performance of Charles Leclerc was noticed. For a long time, this young driver took position between the two strongest teams and the Red Bull team, but he finally had to recognize the others at Verstappen and Ricciardo.
The Brendon Hartley poison cup is not yet empty. During the training session, the New Zealander fell ugly. His suspension failed and there was nothing to save. The driver was a passenger of his own car. The Toro Rosso team immediately watched the sister car of teammate Pierre Gasly and decided not to send Gasly back on the track. Safety first. The question arises as to whether Toro Rosso's team repaired Hartley's car in time to participate in the qualifying session.
Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen did not work one for the other. Whenever a penny was traded for the first position. In the end, it was Lewis Hamilton who clocked the fastest time of his country during this free practice session.
