MEXICO CITY — McLaren topped the speed charts during Saturday’s final practice session ahead of the Mexico City Grand Prix, with Oscar Piastri leading teammate Lando Norris.
Behind the front two, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz was 0.34 seconds off the pace while championship leader Max Verstappen was a distant fourth, 0.511 seconds off Piastri’s top time after power unit issues plagued the Oracle Red Bull Racing driver in the previous sessions.
Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton slotted in fifth ahead of United States Grand Prix winner Charles Leclerc. Yuki Tsunoda, George Russell, Kevin Magnussen and Liam Lawson completed the top 10.
Notably, Russell and his Mercedes team were able to get back on track for FP3 despite a crash in FP2, which left the team with having to replace the chassis.
