F1 Spanish GP: Max Verstappen continues dominance in rain-hit final practice as Logan Sargeant crashes
The teams wasted no time getting some dry-weather qualifying simulation running in at the start of final practice, with nearby rain and lightning threatening to ♏disrupt the session.
Verstappen posted a 1m13.664s to head the timesheets, 0.250s cl🍌ear of Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez before Sargeant’s cra🧔sh interrupted FP3 and rain hit.
Sargeant lost control of h🎀is Williams ꦇcoming out of the revised, faster final corner and ended up in the tyre barriers following a trip through the gravel.
The rain arrived during the subsequent red flag suspension, ruining any hope of completing more dry rඣunning and leaving an air of mystery surrounding the true co🦹mpetitive order heading into qualifying.
After a difficult opening day of practice, Lewis Hamilton improved to ꧟third in his upgraded M🔥ercedes, with the seven-time world champion 0.408s adrift of Verstappen.
Carlos 🏅Sainz was fourth-fastest for Ferrari, ahead of Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, George Russell’s Mercedes and teammate Charl💯es Leclerc.
Valtteri ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚBottas, Yuki Tsunoda and Lando Norris completed the rest of the top-10 order for Alfa Romeo, AlphaTauri and McLaren respectively.
