Catch up with the results and key talking points from FP3 in Mexico.
Max Verstappen made it a clean sweep for Mexican GP practice, but he could face competition from Williams in the pole position fight.
Williams surprised themselves with their strong start to the race weekend, and now they will have even more data to figure out as Alex Albon heads into qualifying off the back of a P2 finish in the final practice session, only 0.07s shy of Verstappen. It was a rather slow start to the final hour of practice in Mexico, Mercedes settling into an early one-two, headed by George Russell, while Pierre Gasly found himself going for a spin on entry to the stadium section, thankfully escaping with nothing more than a ruined flying lap, while Kevin Magnussen was battling handling issues in the Haas.
Verstappen settled back into his familiar P1 though as the session ticked past halfway, his 1:18.429 putting him a couple of tenths up on Russell and three-tenths clear of team-mate Sergio Perez. Alex Albon though was in the mood to put Williams back in the conversation, clocking a 1:17.957 for the pack to chase, only Verstappen up to the challenge.Ferrari go into qualifying at something of a wildcard, with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz having seen their push laps on the softs end via Magnussen and Lance Stroll impedes respectively.3 Sergio PEREZ Red Bull Racing +0.1396 Valtteri BOTTAS Alfa Romeo +0.5509 Daniel RICCIARDO AlphaTauri +0.61212 Guanyu ZHOU Alfa Romeo +1.
