The third weekend of the F1 season in Melbourne has already gone into action.
The third practice session was held early on Saturday morning Finnish time. The training sessions were carried out without any major problems, and even the short red flag phase, which was based on of Nyck de Vries AlphaTauri to the detached cover.
The autumn conditions were surprisingly difficult for the drivers. The temperature barely rose to 15 degrees, and a few drops of rain scared the drivers. Sergio Perez, Kevin Magnussen and Zhou Guanyu everyone got to know the safety areas of the track, but in the end they were able to continue their journey with very little damage.
The time trial, which starts at 8 a.m. Finnish time, promises to be a lot smoother than earlier in the season. Sure Max Verstappen starts as the favorite to get the pole position, but based on practice, Red Bull has the advantage over Aston Martin To Fernando Alonso was only 0.162 seconds.
When Pérez’s obvious difficulties to stay on the track are added to that, Red Bull may be in surprising trouble.
Valtteri Bottas was 15th fastest 1.244 seconds slower than Verstappen. Teammate Zhou flashed Alfa Romeo’s speed with his tenth fastest time.
