Formula 1: Räikkönen with the best time in the third training session

In the hot midday sun on Saturday, the Finn clearly set the fastest time in 1:29,868 minutes ahead of the Red Bull duo Max Verstappen (Netherlands/+0,525) and Daniel Ricciardo (Australia/+0,584) and confirmed the good performances so far in the Persian Gulf . Räikkönen had already set the fastest training lap (1:29,817) on Friday.

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel (Heppenheim) in the second Ferrari came fifth, 0,851 seconds behind. Vettel, who won the opening race in Australia, also kept his mechanics busy: Right at the start of the hour-long practice session, Vettel reported a crack in the air baffle on the right side box. The damage was repaired quickly.

There is still a question mark behind Mercedes. World champion Lewis Hamilton (Great Britain/+0,823), who was punished with a five-place penalty for a gearbox change before qualifying on Saturday (17.00 p.m. CEST/RTL), came fourth. Teammate Valtteri Bottas (+0,913) took sixth place. Nico Hülkenberg (+1,276) from Emmerich only completed a few laps in a good seventh place in the Renault, like many of his colleagues.

The findings from the third free practice session were manageable, as the track temperatures in the midday sun were higher than in qualifying in the early evening. Like the race on Sunday (17.10:XNUMX p.m. CEST/RTL), the starting place allocation will take place under floodlights.
