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 Grand Prix weekend as he set the pace in final practice.

Verstappen was also fastest in the only othe♕r representative session 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 yearsꦺ.

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 c𝔉ompletely plain-sailing for Red Bull though at Suzuka with both d🍷rivers complaining of “poor driveability” in FP3.

Even 🙈though Verstappen ✃headed the timesheets, he wasn’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 the final sector which effectively consists of one chicane.

In terms of Red Bull’s closest challenger, so far at l💎east, it appears to be Mercedes.

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

The seven-time world chaไmpion 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 fir🙈st 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 fo🃏r RB, setting the ninth-fastest time.
