Reigning F1 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen continued his strong start to the Japanese Gr🐻and Prix weekend as he set the pace in final practice.

Verstappen was also fastest in the only other representative seﷺssion so far this weekend - FP1 - as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing outing ♎in Australia where he suffered his first DNF in two years.

Verstappen’s 1m29.563s puts him just under three-tenths clear of Red Bull teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez.

It’s not been completely plain-sailing for Red Bull though at Suzuka with b🍸oth drivers complaining of “poor driveabilit𓃲y” in FP3.

Even though Verstappen headed the timesheets, he waꦜsn’t quickest in any of the three sectors.

McLaren’s high-speed prowess was on display as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris set the best first sector, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell was quickest in the middle part of the lap.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon took the honours for th🗹e final sector which effectively consists of o𒈔ne chicane.

In terms of Red Bull’s c💛losest challenge𝓡r, so far at least, it appears to be Mercedes.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton led the ꦬway for much of the 60-minute session before struggling to find significant gains on his second soft tyre lap.

The seven-time wor🎉ld cꦓhampion ended up fourth-fastest in the Mercedes, just behind Russell.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso 🌊was fifth in the 🌃lead Aston Martin, running their new upgrade package for the first time.

Ferrari endured an anonymous FP3 with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz only seventh-fastest, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc narrowly made it into the top 10.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda continues to lead the midfield battle for RB, settꦫing the ninth-fa꧟stest time.
