Max Verstappen Tops Leaderboard Again in FP3<\/h1>\n

The top 3 teams, Mercedes<\/strong>, Ferrari<\/strong> and Red Bull Racing<\/strong>, posted extremely close times on the hypersoft tyres in FP3. This indicates that the fight for pole position will be very close. The top teams might try to set the fastest time in Q2 on the ultrasoft tyres and start the race on the more durable tyres.<\/p>\n
