Oscar Piastri set the fastest time in the final practice session at the Mexican GP

In the last practice, Oscar Piastri was ahead of Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz.

In the final practice, the drivers continued to prepare for qualifying and the race. In the beginning, they rode on soft and medium tires.

Unlike Friday’s practice sessions, the third went without any red flags. Perhaps the worst incident was Liam Lawson’s clock in the final corner, but he did not make contact with the barrier.

The Ferrari drivers were at the top of the order for most of the training session. In the final 15 minutes, the qualifying symbols emerged.

The two McLarens took the lead. Piastri set the fastest time ahead of Norris and Sainz.

Qualifying in Mexico will start at 23:00.

19:30: Training begins…

19:23: During the night they worked on Russell’s car, which he broke down yesterday. However, the drive unit and gearbox are fine. On the other hand, Verstappen, who had problems in the two practice sessions yesterday, changed his engine. But it used older components, so there was no penalty.

19:22: The rider has a lot of work to do today. Yesterday, the second practice was dedicated to tests for Pirelli. In addition, some drivers missed the first practice because they let a young driver in the car and because of Russell’s accident they did not have time to prepare in the second one. This applies to Hamilton, Leclerc, Norris, Alonso and Chou.
