Lewis⛦ Hamilton set the pace in the final practice session before qualifying for Formula 1’s 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Just as he did in FP2 on Friday, the six-times world champion led another Mercedes 1-2 in the final 60-minute practice session as headed teammate Valtteri Bottas by 0.163s on a 1🍨m26.621s.

Lando Norris was an impressive thi🌃rd for McLaren as he managed a time just half a second off the pace🔯 of Hamilton’s benchmark on the harder Medium compound.

Teams are expected to use the Medium compound in qualifying amid degradation concerns relating to P⛎irelli’s softest C4 compound. Most drivers exclusively used the Softs throughout FP3 to save sets of Medium and Hards for qualifying.

Racing Point were line-🅺a-stern in P4 and P5 as Nico Hulkenberg nipped ahead of teammate Lance Stroll by just 0.007s.

Charles Leclerc was sixth-fastest in his Ferrari, ahead of the Red Bull duo headed by Max Verstappen, who whose first qualifying simulation 🎐run was ruined when he came across a slow-moving Racing Point of Stroll in the middle sector.

Verstappen did find improvement on his second run to edge Red Bull teammate Alex Albon by less ꧟than a tenth, though his Soft tyres were past their best❀ at this stage.

Esteban Ocon 🐼and Carlos Sainz completed the top 10 for Renault🍌 and McLaren respectively.

Pierre Gasly was the fastest AlphaTauri in 11th, one position ahead of✅ teammate Daniil Kvyat and Sebastian Vettel, who ended final practice a lowly 13th in his Ferrari.

The second Renault of Daniel R🐼icciardo improved on a used set of Softs to lift himself to a respective 14th given the state of his tyres, ahead of Romain Grosjean’s Haas, while Nichola༒s Latifi shaded Williams teammate George Russell, who suffered a wide moment at Stowe.

The Alfa Romeos of Antonio ꦛGiovinazzi and Kimi Raikkonen, and Haas driver Kevin Magnussen rounded out t🍎he bottom of the FP3 timesheets.
