Ferrari dominates the 3rd Practice session and first in dry conditions. With this times set by the Ferraris, still followed close by the Mercedes, they set the frame for what could be an interesting race, remember the best position Vettel may have is third, after his penalty so this could easily be a pole for Kimi Raikkönen who has played a real teammate part for Ferrari this year. Vettel’s mistakes have cost him dearly, let’s see if he makes up from here on.
Charles Leclerc was fastest of the rest, considering the three top Teams are faster, from his time to Fernando Alonso’s time there was only 1 second separating the 14 cars.
