Team Summary:
With the start of the final practice on Saturday there would not be any sort
of a rush with just three drivers coming out including both Haas and McLaren
cars. For the Williams racing Team Friday had been a difficult day so this
session would hopefully see an improvement. Norris on the medium would set a
1m:19.620 with nearly fifteen minutes of the session completed. Both Alfa
Romeo cars would come out both on the soft tyre. Giovinazzi would go second
behind Norris. But Raikkonen would go quickest with a 1m:19.521. More
drivers would start to come out with forty minutes remaining including both
Renault's and Ferrari's.
Both racing Point cars were also running with the majority of drivers using
the medium tyre. Sainz would go quickest with a 1m:19.446 on the medium
tyre. Both Williams drivers were out running with both on the soft tyre.
Leclerc was now quickest with a 1m:18.950, on the medium tyre, with Kvyat
second. Both Mercedes were running both on the soft tyre. Bottas was now
fastest with a 1m:17.971 to lead Leclerc. Hamilton was now second to be
behind his team-mate. Gasly was now fourth followed by Kvyat, Sainz,
Raikkonen, Norris, Ocon, and Perez tenth. Both Williams drivers continued to
lap on the soft tyre but they would again drop to the bottom of the times to
be slowest. At the front Verstappen was now third with the top three times
all done on the soft tyre.
Leclerc was now fourth followed by Gasly, Albon, Perez, Stroll, Kvyat, and
Sainz tenth. On the soft tyre Norris would jump up to fourth with the only
other car on the track been Sainz with twenty minutes remaining. Sainz would
set a 1m:18.046 to now be second. On the soft tyre Vettel would move up to
sixth with Leclerc fifth. Bottas was still quickest but now with a 1m:17.373
after a soft tyre run. The track was now quite busy with twelve minutes
remaining. Hamilton would improve to be quickest with a 1m:17.222. Sainz was
still third from Verstappen and Leclerc. With eight minutes remaining the
Williams drivers were 17th and 19th. Verstappen would improve to be third
followed by Sainz, Perez, Leclerc, Gasly, Stroll, Albon, Ricciardo and Ocon
tenth.
Ocon would crash late in the session as he came up behind Magnussen and the
Haas would slow quite quickly seeing Ocon having turn to avoid the Hass and
ending up in the barrier. This would see the session red flagged. The
Williams drivers were currently slowest with George ahead of Nicholas by
0.467s. The session would end with Hamilton fastest from Bottas, Verstappen,
Sainz, Perez, Leclerc, Gasly, Stroll, Albon, and Ricciardo tenth. Another
difficult session for Williams Racing with both drivers showing no major
improvement from Friday. It would most likely be a repeat of the is session
come qualifying with the prospects for the race not much better.
Nicholas Latifi:
With just under forty minutes left Nicholas would come out for his first run
also using the soft tyre. His first lap would be a 1m:20.444 to currently be
12th. He would drop to 15th then would become slowest pitting after a nine
lap run. Nicholas would also come out for his soft tyre run. He would set a

soft tyre. George would set a 1m:20.288 to currently be eighth. As he

return again on the soft tyre. He would set a 1m:19.297 to now be 12th. This
would become 18th as he pitted after a six lap run. George would drop to
19th which was not a surprise as the session ended. |
