The result of the third free practice session on the
Istanbul Park circuit says nothing at all. The fastest times were driven at the very beginning of the session, because after that it started to rain harder and harder. For Verstappen this result does look nice on his CV.
Verstappen takes fastest time from Albon
With the fastest time in FP3 he has been the fastest in every free practice this weekend. Something that is even a rarity for the Mercedes drivers. That the RB16 is going well in Turkey is also proven by
Alexander Albon, who had the fastest time on the clock just before Verstappen.
Ferrari is also doing surprisingly well this weekend. Especially Leclerc shows that he belongs in the top five on this circuit. Both
Ferrari drivers also took quite a risk this morning by driving for a long time in the pouring rain.
