Mercedes F1 driver set a 1m37.529s in a rain-affected Saturday practice session
George Russell claimed the fastest time in a wet FP3 session at the British Grand Prix, pipping Mercedes Formula 1 team-mate Lewis Hamilton by 0.035 seconds. Despite a red flag and the effect of continued precipitation throughout the session, a steady level of improvement continued beyond the half-hour mark, allowing Russell to grab the fastest time - still over 10 seconds down on Friday's dry times - before the conditions worsened.
564s, but he was just shy of the mark. Lando Norris, who headlined FP1 and FP2, was third fastest and 0.185s away from Russell's benchmark, and almost half a second clear of fourth-placed Carlos Sainz. Verstappen landed in fifth, ahead of Leclerc and Piastri, while Fernando Alonso improved late to leapfrog Sergio Perez into the top eight. Nico Hulkenberg completed the upper half of the field, 1.8s adrift of Russell's headline effort.
