Max Verstappen set the fastest time of the weekend during the Practice 3 session, clocking in at 1m17.565s and narrowly outpacing Fernando Alonso. Despite some dissatisfaction with his Red Bull-Honda’s braking, Verstappen managed to regain the top spot on the time sheets with a strong performance near the end of the session. Ultimately, he finished in sixth place, over half a second behind. Alpine’s Esteban Ocon secured third place, while Pierre Gasly finished in fifth. George Russell from Mercedes secured fourth place, with Lewis Hamilton ending in eighth. His teammate Valtteri Bottas struggled with a different setup and finished in fifteenth place.
