Formula 1: Norris stays on top in Hungary

Share

The final practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix has come to a close as Lando Norris and teammate Oscar Piastri went 1-2 to end the afternoon session ahead of Max Verstappen as teams prepare for qualifying later today.

HIGHLIGHTS: Relive the action from FP3 in Hungary as McLarens head the field and Hamilton spins wildly

A slightly cooler and quieter start to the session when compared to Friday, it was again Max Verstappen who put his Red Bull on top early despite reporting some understeer and lack of rear grip during his lap. With 40 minutes remaining, the action on track increased as drivers swapped for soft compound tires and made their flying laps as Lando Norris went quickest mid-way through the hour.

Aston Martin and Red Bull however, seemed to be on a different run plan for the afternoon and opted to send out their drivers later in the session with soft compounds, but neither pair of drivers were able to displace Norris from the top spot. Verstappen would end his session 3rd quickest, slotting in between the McLaren duo and the Mercedes of George Russell – who briefly held the top spot before Norris’s final quick lap of the session.

Carlos Sainz ended the day 5th ahead of Daniel Ricciardo and Alex Albon as Nico Hulkenberg, Yuki Tsunoda, and Lewis Hamilton rounded out the top 10.
