george russell In the third free practice session of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, (Mercedes) topped the time table with a time of 0.398 seconds. Oscar Piastri (McLaren, 2nd place) and Logan Sargent (Williams, 3rd place)and Max Verstappen (Red Bull) is 0.5 seconds behind in 4th place, “Czech” Perez (Red Bull) The fifth one is 0″613. Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) He finished seventh with a score of 0″695, while Hamilton was eighth with a score of 0″760. However, for classification, forget about this results table. As we saw in FP3, anything can happen. It was clear that mistakes would pay off in Turn 12, where there was little grip and overbraking meant escaping and going into the wall.

he revealed that Verstappen, on my last attempt, I had a better time than 2/10 in the first sector. But as I reached Turn 12 and was about to hit the wall, I turned around and attempted an asphalt escape. He thus missed out on the final time and F1 fans were eager to discover a pace more representative of the champion on this new track ahead of today’s qualifying (9am).

Ferrari can’t show themselves but aims for pole position

What he can do about pole position is leclercThis is because, even if Sainz were able to finish in first place, he would have accumulated 10 penalty spots for damaging his battery in a bad culvert in free practice 1 and having to replace it.

So some ferrari Even though I had a very good feeling, I was far behind in this session. This shows how unrepresentative the final result of Free Practice 3 was on a track that continues to improve significantly throughout qualifying. Whoever sets the time last will likely be able to clock out tenths of a second on a track that gains grip as more rubber is deposited.

Alonso feels good

Fernando Alonso finished seventh with 0″695 and once again felt very good. The times were easy again and the Spaniard was again comfortable in the green car and was always in the lead once he set the time. However, With such an even grid, setting a target position is very complicated for the man from Oviedo, as he is the last to set a time in the best asphalt conditions, in a classification where the evolution of the track is very important is.

Verstappen and Ferrari should be able to advance to Q3, Mercedes is fast, Williams is fast It looks like the battle with the green car will only last for one lap. Qualifying can become Russian roulette under the spotlight. sin city.
