Max Verstappen narrowly beats Alex Albon by 0.070 seconds in the final practice session in Mexico, setting the fastest lap of the session with 10 minutes to go.
The Dutchman was the man to beat having set the fastest time in both Friday sessions but he did not have it all his own way.
While there was quite a rush to get out early in the rain-affected FP2, there was less so on Saturday’s session with just five drivers heading out early on. Yuki Tsunoda hinted he may be a contender for Q3 later on with another quick time that put him provisionally third while Lewis Hamilton put his difficult Friday performance behind with a time of 1:19.214 to set him top of the standings.
Verstappen’s first effort put him 0.073 seconds behind Russell while Sergio Perez set a purple sector one but a lock up in sector two meant he could only manage fifth quickest. After a disappointing Friday, Aston Martin again ran into trouble with both drivers failing to finish inside the top 10 but of the two drivers, it was Fernando Alonso who was the quickest.
Russell moved back into the top three with a time 0.291 seconds behind Albon’s while Lewis Hamilton was struggling to find improvement in his lap time.
