Spanish GP: Free Practice 3 - Re-Cap & Times

SPANISH GRAND PRIX - FREE PRACTICE #3

It was Mercedes who led this session, while the Ferrari drivers finished further down with Vettel in 3rd and Raikkonen in 6th. Verstappen finished 4th and his first race weekend with Red Bull is looking quite well. Could he be looking at a podium finish on Sunday? It certainly can't be ruled out with the pace he's showing.

    McLaren ran a new front wing in this session. However, they only have one and it was put on Button's car, while it's said that Alonso opted to stick to his current set-up and not run the front wing.

    Not too many troubles for Haas or Renault this time around after 2 less than perfect sessions yesterday, where both teams faced multiple technical issues.
