Reigning F1 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen continued his stronꦉg start to the Japan🌌ese Grand Prix weekend as he set the pace in final practice.

Verstappen was also fastest🅘 in the only other 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 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 both drivers complai🐷ning of “poor driveability🐻” in FP3.

Even though Verstappen headed the timesheets, he wasn’t quickest in any of the three sector⛄s.

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 consi♚sts of one chicane.

In terms of Red Bull’s closꦇest challenger, 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 way for much of the 60-minute session🔯 before struggling to find significant gains on his second soft tyre lap.

The seven-time wor꧟ld champ෴ion 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, setting the ninth-fastest time.
