It was Max Verstappen and the rest in FP3, with a very congested chasing pack in Miami... F1 MiamiGP Formula1
The World Championship leader went 0.406s faster than the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc in second, with Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez third and Carlos Sainz ahead of the Alpine duo of Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, who showed impressive pace in FP3 to put both cars in the top six.
There was very little to separate the teams behind Red Bull and Ferrari, however, with only 0.316s separating Esteban Ocon in P5 and Stroll in P14. Leclerc put himself to within a tenth of the Red Bull driver in his Ferrari in that time, but the majority of the grid opted to stay in their garages. Turn 17 proved to be a hotspot for drivers locking up once again, with the cars heading to the corner at over 200mph into the braking zone – with Hamilton, Alonso and Alex Albon all running deep into the final hairpin of the lap at different times in the session.
But the track evolution was such that names we have not associated with being in the upper echelons of the standings so far this season put themselves in the mix, with Valtteri Bottas and Albon going P5 and P6 respectively in quick succession of each other, with 49°C track temperature playing its part in a sweaty FP3 session for the drivers.
