The fastest times were set quite early on and were not improved anymore due to the changing weather conditions. Verstappen continues Friday's trend, and with a time of 1:56.924, he is the fastest man in the third free practice. Pérez finishes the training in second place.

Lewis Hamilton completes the top three but has to settle for a second behind his title rival. The weather conditions meant that there was not much chance of a time improvement after the first half-hour.

Lando Norris ends the session in fourth place, doing well again. Valtteri Bottas on the other hand is somewhat disappointing in eleventh place.
