Excellent session, although I don't think it will really change the result.

Mercs seemed to have pace until the last lap shootout no? I can see MV getting Sainz on the start and that'll be it..

Did sound like they were roundly boo'ing him at the on-track interview though?

Apparently they tried a cool down lap then a final push lap which may explain the drop in performance at the end.

They had the pace today to be around the top although, think Verstappen was the quickest today.

Now on to the Formula E at Marrakesh....looks a bit warmer there than Silverstone

The coverage was dire throughout. Didn't even get a replay of Latifi going off despite the fact he held up several drivers with the yellows.

Yes, Ham especially. Looks like both him and George had disappointing last laps.

I'm sure there were 2-3 yellows. And not a sniff of the action. Only verstappens spin

and they only caught that by accident as they were following him at the time!

What crap pictures from the TV director. Just showed Sainz cruising around on a cool down lap when half the field is still on a lap.

Ham said the track got wetter after their cool down lap unfortunately.

Who would take it, though? McLaren don't have anyone obvious lined up. A punt on Drugovich perhaps?

Do they even have "juniors" these days? The only two who seem to have any kind of agreement with them are Pato O'Ward and Colton Herta but I' not sure Herta has ever even tested a car yet.

Shame verstappen isn't a bit further back. Grid isn't that mixed up.

Excluding reliability a slam dunk for verstappen?

Yeah I'd think so, he's looked quickest all weekend really, its a shame tomorrow's forecast is dry - bit of rain might have spiced things up too

Rain really adds to a weekend.
Shame f1 isn't a winter sport!

They have one, in F4. Herta doesn't have the super license points and seems unlikely to get them. Pata O'Ward seems more likely, hadn't realised he was so close to getting the points he needs.

I wasn't sure about the super license myself! I'd have liked McLaren to go for Gasly tbh

Apparently Ocon wasn't to blame for his q2 exit. Reportedly had power issues.

I know it's raining, but quite a few of the grandstands look surprisingly empty

All the covered grandstands were pretty much full by the start of FP3. At least all the ones on the outer side of the track. The prospect of wet weather made sure of that
