Ellie Hardings will be in touch:

I think this is an important session for Norris after last week’s difficult Bahrain qualifying, especially given his past performances on this track, especially due to his teammates’ confidence in the championship against Piastri. Do you think one of the McLarens would get a pole?

Ooof, it’s very difficult to call. Piastri seems like the man of the moment, but perhaps Norris has a bit of a mental advantage after spending his time in the third practice. Either way, it’s difficult to pass McLaren on pole tomorrow.

George Russell took part in the discussion About Verstappen’s future and the potential for a move towards Mercedes. It was an appetizing prospect, and even a UK driver admitted when speaking to the PA this week:

Why don’t they want to sign Max? That’s completely understandable. He’s the best right now. He is a four-time world champion. That’s not about me or you [Antonelli]. All teams have two drivers, he is one. So I think performance is my currency and I’m performing just like anyone on this grid now, so I’m not worried about that a bit.

Key points of buildup This weekend was Max Verstappen’s future, revealed for his criticism of his car after a disappointing sixth place finish in Bahrain. Can he move?

“i am happy [at Red Bull]I’m not very happy with our car,” he said this week. “But that applies to everyone. We all want to be better, and that’s what we’re trying to improve.”

Let’s take a look How the third practice was finished this afternoon.

The two McLarens were rarely separated. Randorris is 200th of a second faster than Oscar Piastri.

Max Verstappen is a bit off his Red Bull pace, but Lewis Hamilton didn’t break the top 10 and was seventh in Ferrari teammate Charles Leclair. Williams performed the best midfield runners.
