Lewis Hamilton stays on top in final F1 Anniversary GP practice

Lewis Hamilton set the pace in the final practic𒁃e session before qualifying for Form🦋ula 1’s 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Just as he did in FP2 on Friday, the six-times world champion led an🐭other Mercedes 1-2 in the final 60-minute practice session as headed teammate Valtteri Bottas by 0.163s on a 1m26.621s.
Lando Norris was an impꦰressive third for McLaren as he managed a time just half a second off the pace of Hamilton’s benchmark on the harder Medium compou🎃nd.
Teams are expected to use the Medium compound in qualifying amid degradation concerns relating to Pirelli’s softest C4 compound. Most drivers exclusively used the S🏅ofts throughout FP3 to save sets of Medium and Hards for qualifying.
Racing Point were ♌line-a-stern in P4 and P5 as Nico Hulkenberg nipped ahead of teammate Lance Stroll by just 0.007s.
Charles Leclerc was sixth-fastest in his Ferrari, ahead of the Red Bull duo headed by Max Verstappen, who whose first qualifying simulation run was ruined when h𓃲e came🐼 across a slow-moving Racing Point of Stroll in the middle sector.
Verstappen did find improvement on his second ♔run to edge Red Bull teammate Alex Albon by less than a tenth, though his Soft tyres were past their best at this stage.
Esteban Ocon and Car🐓los Sainz completed the top 10 for Renault and McLare♎n respectively.
Pierre Gasly was the fastest AlphaTauri in 🅠11th, one position ahead of teammate Daniil Kvyat and Sebastian Vettel, who ended final practice a lowly 13th in his Ferrari.
The second Renault of Daniel Ricciardo improved on a used set of Softs to lift himself to a respective 14th given the state of his tyres,༺ ahead of Romain Grosjean’s Haas, while Nicholas Latifi shaded Williams teammate George Russell, who suffered a wide moment at Stowe.
The Alfa Romeos of Antonio Giꦿovinazzi and Kimi Raikkonen, and Haas driver 💮Kevin Magnussen rounded out the bottom of the FP3 timesheets.
