For the first twenty minutes, we traditionally didn’t see much action in the last training session. Only Pietro Fittipaldi was on the track. Then the other riders also rode out.
Mercedes drivers took the lead, which then divided several drivers. The fastest time was set by Max Verstappen. His teammate finished sixth, but did not wear soft tires during training.
George Russell set the seventh fastest time this time.
Ferrari has to solve technical problems again. While Leclerca disqualified the drive shaft on Friday, Vettel’s engine changes before qualifying for “safety reasons”.
Qualification for the Sachir Grand Prix begins at 18:00.
