They end with a completely opposite situation to that seen yesterday in FP3 at Monza. Red Bull took back the throne, with an elusive Max Verstappen both on the flying lap and on qualifying. Leclerc arrives at most in second place, ahead of Perez's other Red Bull.
Red Bull flies, Ferrari studies
Red Bull arrived at Monza with a more loaded setup to tackle even the most driven stretches, considering that they have no difficulty on the straights. Max Verstappen is one of many riders who will take a penalty, but the Dutchman will only have to serve 5 penalty positions. A walk in the park for a RB18 of this level. Max is also favored by the penalty situation, which could give Max the chance to win a few pitches, even considering the 5-position penalty. Difficult to understand what Ferrari will do in qualifying, whether to try to attack the fastest time with both drivers, especially to take with Sainz the position up Hamilton, who will start with him from the bottom. Ferrari must hope that tire degradation does not affect the F1-75 in the race, given that Red Bull does not seem to suffer particularly. The pace of the Reds is still better than the Mercedes at the moment as they are confirmed as third force.
De Vries at his debut
Session started after a few minutes for Nyck de vries, called to roll call this morning to replace Alexander albon currently in surgery for appendicitis. The number 23 driver had closed the first two free practice sessions with excellent results on Friday with a very strong Williams on the straights, but this morning he started to feel bad and for this reason the team promptly replaced him with De Vries, third driver Williams. Not an exciting session for De Vries, making his debut in F1 and with a single-seater to adapt to suit him in a very short time.
Penalties are updated
Continue to update the table of penalty ahead of qualifying and the race. After Verstappen (5 positions), Tsunoda, Hamilton, Sainz, Bottas (15 positions), Perez (10 positions), too Or with reaches the audience of those penalized for replacing the ICE on his Alpine. The French driver will have to serve a penalty of 5 positions on the starting grid. We remind you that only Hamilton, Tsunoda and Sainz will start from the bottom. Also new at Haas. Magnussen will serve a 15-place penalty for changing some components of the Power Unit. You also change on the other side of the Haas pits. The team worked throughout the session in the number 47 car due to a clutch problem. The confirmation of 10 penalty positions for Mick Schumacher arrives at the end of the session. An uphill weekend for Mick, who was only able to complete a few laps in the FP2 of yesterday. It will be difficult to understand the starting grid at the end of qualifying which will be very tight.
That's all times of FP3
